"Pretty, pretty pictures, indeed. But for all your pretty computer simulated drawings, it's still only the "electron cloud theory". Until you can show me (in a laboratory) a nested sphere turning into a group of toruses, you better not be teaching our children that it's a fact"
1) Actually its called spherical harmonics.
2) the electrons don't actually move in nested spheres. You have to take the angular momentum into account as well as the energy levels. This way you end up with toruses and dumb-bells clouds and such.
3) The hydrogen atom is one of the most rigoriously experiemented on and deeply studied things in science. In fact, its the only atom that can be completely solved analiticaly (the electron structure anyway).
4) This is a really old theory. people have been trying to disprove it for better part of 80 years.
5)What they teach in highschool is actually the outdated Bohr model of the atom, which has been shown to be wrong. This causes confusion in many students because the bohr model does NOT naturally lead to spherical harmonics.
