Question
what do each of the pink dots represent in schrodingers \electron cloud\ model of the atom? each dot is a possible location where one electron might be each dot is a different electron
In Schrodinger's Electron Cloud model, the electron cloud represents the region where there is a high probability of finding an electron. The pink dots (or points in the cloud) represent possible locations where an electron might be, not each dot being a different electron (as electrons are not visualized as distinct dots each being a separate electron in this model; it's about probability of location).
