There are things called group and period. the groups are basically used for the electron dot diagram. the period is used for the cloud model. there are 7 periods. for example, Sodium is in period 3, so sodium has 3 energy levels. draw a circle. the circle is your nucleus. then draw another circle around your nucleus. that is your first energy level. there are 2 electrons in the first level, 8 in the second and 18 in the third. for sodium the atomic number is 11. first draw your nucleus. then draw your first energy level. the first energy level has 2 electrons. then draw your second energy level. it had 8 electrons. so far your atomic number is 8. sodium has 3 energy levels because it's in period 3. draw your third energy level with 1 electron. For sodium you only draw 1 electron because you already have 2 electrons on the first level and 8 on the second. the atomic number for sodium is 11 so it has to equal 11. that is why you only draw one electron on the third energy level. 8+2+1=11. it is the same number as your atomic number. and there you have your electron cloud model.

Model with dark bands representing energy levels shows where an atom's electrons are most likely to be?

This model is called the electron cloud model. The dark bands represent regions of high probability of finding electrons, known as electron orbitals. Electrons are most likely to be found in these regions surrounding the nucleus of an atom.


What are similar with Dalton model and electron cloud models?

Both the Dalton model and the electron cloud model are representations of the structure of an atom. They both describe the atom as having a nucleus at the center and electrons orbiting around it. However, the electron cloud model introduces the idea of electron probability density clouds instead of fixed orbits.


. In the electron cloud model the electron cloud is denser in some locations than in others. What do the denser areas represent?

Regions where the probability of finding an electron is high.
