The Electron Cloud Model
By Victoria Harding and Samantha Cole
Model Definition and Example
The Electron Cloud Model shows that the electrons do not go around the nucleus in a Established orbit. The electrons instead stay in a sort of "cloud" around the nucleus.

The Difference Betetwn the Models
The Electron Cloud Model is far more accurate than the Bohr's model. The Bohr's model incorrectly shows the electrons are in a fixed orbit around the nucleus. Unlike the Electron cloud model which shows that the electron move around in the "cloud" and are not in a fixed spot.
