(N/A) Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the exact position and the exact momentum of a moving microscopic particle (like an electron) with absolute precision.
Mathematically,it is expressed as:
$\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4\pi}$
Where:
$\Delta x$ is the uncertainty in position,
$\Delta p$ is the uncertainty in momentum,
$h$ is Planck's constant.
