Electrons in Atoms Test

The quantum mechanical model of the atom best describes how:

• the probable location of an electron can be determined.

• the exact location of an electron can be pinpointed.

• electrons lose energy as they orbit and eventually fall into the nucleus.

• the exact location of the neutron can be determined.
