In the figure, why are there dots beyond the "boundary" of the atomic orbital?

• the boundary encloses the volume in which the electron is found 90% of the time

• the boundary is three-dimensional, while the picture shows only two dimensions

• experimental error

• the boundary encloses the volume in which the electron is found 50% of the time

Which principle states that we cannot know the location AND momentum of an electron simultaneously?

• Bohr
• Hesienberg
• Shrodinger
• Einstein

The area of 3D space where an electron is likely to be found is called a(n)
