.Modern Atomic Theory

Electrons are organized in an atom on certain energy levels or regions, around the nucleus. It is impossible to determine exactly where an electron is at any specific time. Electrons move between energy levels when an atom gains and loses energy. Orbital is a region in which an electron is most likely to be. Valence electrons determine the chemical properties of an atom and a photon is the smallest unit of light energy.
