Question

If you are looking for a one specific electron you will have....% chance of finding it in an area within the atom electron clouds?
90%
50%
100%
10%

Answer 1

If you are looking for a one specific electron you will have 90% chance of finding it in an area within the atom electron clouds.

According to the wave mechanical or electron cloud model of the atom, postulates that the atomic orbital is a region in space where there is a very high probability of finding an electron.

The term "electron cloud" is just another term used for "atomic orbital".

Since electrons reside in orbitals, if you are looking for a one specific electron you will have 90% chance of finding it anywhere within the electron clouds. This would make mathematical sense as the probability of finding an electron within the electron cloud can never be 100%.
