«You see a hydrogen atom, you see
the electron clouds around it.
In another series of simulations, they did not include
the electron cloud around the ion and solvent.

The computer system generates coloured images of the
electron clouds that swirl
around atomic nucleii and define the true shape and chemical character of molecules.
Mezey says that conventional techniques for drawing
electron clouds have been restricted to molecules containing
around 100 atoms, such as vitamins and small peptides.
That's because neutrons interact with the nucleus, rather than the
cloud of
electrons around it, and interact with very different strengths with the nucleus of each element at the lighter end of the periodic table.
Describing the
clouds of
electrons around each atom requires complex quantum calculations that require so - called basis sets.
Instead of being embedded in the ion cars, the
electrons sit like a
cloud of exhaust
around each ion, and they can actually leap from ion to ion and back again.
The models can be viewed in either the traditional Bohr model, which shows an atom with a central nucleus with
electrons in orbit
around it, or with the quantum mechanical model, which shows off the atom as an
electron cloud.
