1) You know Tom when he is angry.
2) You know how Tom is when he is angry.

Can #1 be used instead of #2?


3) You know children when they are angry.
4) You know how children are when they are angry.

Can #3 be used instead of #4?
 
In my humble opinion, more likely is:

You know how Tom is when he's angry.
