The Electron Cloud Model describes an atom as consisting of a dense nucleus surrounded by electrons that exist in different probability clouds or regions at various energy levels, as developed by Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Heisenburg. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know both the momentum and position of a particle like an electron at the same time. To measure an electron's position requires striking it with a photon, which affects its motion and makes its momentum uncertain. Quantum numbers describe an electron's unique state and include the principal, angular, magnetic, and spin quantum numbers.
