Question

difference between :

orbit in Bohr model, and,
orbital in Quantum model

Answer 1

Bohr model says clearly the electron revolves around the nucleus in oribit. so orbit means a spherical region around nucleus

Answer 2

what does a orbital mean, becoz my notes has :

the orbit in Bohr's model is replaced by orbital in Quantum model

Answer 3

Orbital is refering to the potential density of electrons.

Answer 4

whereas orbit is literally an orbit like the moon around the earth

Answer 5

The main difference is that the quantum mechanical model doesnt have fixed electrons that whiz around in orbits. Rather there is a chance of finding the electron at certain spots. All these chances together are the "electron cloud"

Answer 6

what does that mean, electron density.. 1 sec il post what im seeing

Answer 7

potential density, of electrons. the electron cloud are those blue and red mushroom shapes

Answer 8

electron cloud will have so many electrons ?

Answer 9

or one electron only we call electron-cloud in quantum model ?

Answer 10

no, its abit tricky to imagine. hold on

Answer 11

exactly one electron we call an electron cloud

Answer 12

becoz i see so many blue red spots oh ok

Answer 13

the cloud is the probability of finding the electron in a certain area
