In the quantum-mechanical model of the atom, an orbital is defined as a

• region of the most probable proton location.

• region of the most probable electron location.

• circular path traveled by an electron around an orbital.

• circular path traveled by a proton around an orbital.

Answer explanation

In the quantum-mechanical model of the atom, an orbital is defined as a region of the most probable electron location.

When applied to the quantum mechanics, the Pauli Exclusion Principle states

• no two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers.

• no two atoms can have the same location.

• the location and momentum of an electron cannot be determined at the same time.

• the electrons are excluded from the nucleus.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that:

• We can know both the position and velocity of a particle with absolute certainty.

• The more precisely we know a particle's position, the less precisely we can know its momentum.

• Particles do not have a definite position.

• Particles can be in two places at once.

When are photons of light released?

• When electrons move from the ground state to the excited state

• When electrons move from the excited state to the ground state

• When electrons stay in the same orbital.

• When the distance to the nucleus increases.
