Opposites Attract!
• Protons and electrons have opposite
charges so there is an attractive force
between them.
• There is a repulsive force between
protons and protons, and electrons
and electrons.
Electron Cloud Model
• Electron Cloud is the area around the
nucleus of an atom where its electrons
are most likely found.
– The electron cloud is 100,000 times larger
than the diameter of the nucleus.
– Remember: electrons are constantly in
motion.
Electron Cloud
Electron Cloud Model
• Picture the spokes on a moving bicycle
wheel. They are moving so quickly that
you can’t pinpoint any single spoke. All
you see is a blur that contains all of the
spokes somewhere within it. In the
same way the electron loud is a blur
containing all of the electrons
somewhere within it.
Electron Cloud Model
• Scientists have determined that the
electron cloud is more than just a blur.
Each electron travels at an average
distance from the nucleus, depending
on its energy. These avg. distances are
referred to as energy levels. Energy
levels are areas of the cloud where the
electrons are more likely to be found.
