It is impossible to determine simultaneously the position of velocity of small microscopic particle such as electron , proton or neutron with accuracy .This is called Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Mathematically, it is represented as Delta x. Delta p ge (h)/(4pi) , Delta x is uncertainty in position Delta p is uncertainty in momentum.
