>Zz Sorry to trouble you.

Let's say we don't try to measure them. They then have a logical position. Where would they be and then do they jump? This metaphor seems very strong. People say they jump and that the different energy states map to position.

Electrons don't orbit. They are said to jump from one energy state to another and that jump is shown as a later where electrons are further or closer to the nucleus. If they are closer or farther away then they most have jumped through something.

I've always wondered this. Hopefully someone one knows. I always read the electrons jump, but they never say through what. thanx
