Question

which of the following statements about the quantum - mechanical model is false? electron paths cannot be described exactly. electrons do not behave as particles. orbitals are specific paths electrons follow. orbitals are a probability map of finding electrons. all of the above are correct statements. submit previous answers request answer

Explanation:

• In the quantum - mechanical model, electrons have a wave - particle duality, so they do behave as particles (contradicting the statement "Electrons do not behave as particles").
• Orbitals are regions of probability (not specific paths) where electrons are likely to be found (contradicting "Orbitals are specific paths electrons follow").
• Electron paths cannot be described exactly, which is a correct statement.

Answer:

Electrons do not behave as particles, Orbitals are specific paths electrons follow, All of the above are correct statements.
