Solution

Werner Heiseberg, a German physicist in 1927, stated uncertainity principle which states that it is impossible to determine simulataneously, the exact position and exact momentum of an electron.

Mathematically, Δx×Δph4π

The important implications of the Heisenberg uncertainity pricniple is that it rules out existence of definite paths or trajectories of electrons and other similar particles.
