    Answer: Electron clouds

    In the the wave mechanical model from the quantum mechanics, the behavior of an electron in an atom is described by an orbital, which is a probability distribution rather than an orbit (represented by a probabilistic cloud).

    In this context, electrons are thought of as waves of probabilistic matter using De Broglie's wavelength and Schrödinger's uncertainty principle.
