How do scientists currently describe the movement of electrons around the nucleus?

The short answer is the motion is completely deterministic, but not predictable in the everyday, macroscopic sense. The more accurately you try to measure momentum of the electron in transit, the less you will know about its position.

∙ 15y agoMotions of electrons are described both by classical and quantum physics. Classical models using Newtonian forces and electromagnetism can explain certain motions of electrons. However in order to describe electron diffraction you require quantum mechanics. Then for large atoms with large electron clouds, the electrons on the outside approach relativistic speeds and therefore cannot be explained by regular quantum mechanics and require you to use dirac's equations.
Hope that helps.

∙ 12y agothey decribed electrons around nucleus as the planets revolving around sun, but the electrons and nucleus exert equal and opposite force due to which they are stable. but in solar system every planet doesn't exert equal and opposite force against sun due to which their at different positions revolving around sun

∙ 14y agousually scientists describe the movement of electrons as- electrons move around the nucleus in certain well definded circular path called orbit
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, in semi-random paths called Orbitals.

What is the term used to describe the rate of an object's movement?
The term used to describe the rate of an object's movement is speed or velocity. Velocity is the same as speed but also measures direction.
What waves are caused by colliding air molecules?
Brownian movement, Brownian motion, or pedesis is the random movement of particles suspended in either a liquid or a gas. This is the movement that you see when sunlight is streaming through a window and you see the dust particles randomly moving. This movement helped to prove the existence of atoms and molecules. Many scientists, including Albert Einstein, used this motion to describe movements in the stock market, among other things!
The principle of heating a filament to obtain a movement of electrons is called?
Thermionic emission
How would you describe the role of the skeleton in body movement?
eyes
What is the term used to describe the rate of an objects movement?
velocity
How do scientists today describe the movement of electrons?
The movement of electrons is like this. They are in rings (not visible) and rotate around the nucleus like saturns. There is a limit to each of these "valances".
Describe the movement of the electrons ldk?
ldk
What is a phrase meaning the Movement of electrons?
The movement of electrons is electrical energy.
Which type of energy requires the movement of electrons?
Electric energy requires the movement of electrons.
Describe How the movement of electrons between two objects with balanced charges could cause the buildup of electric charge in both objects?

Why it is the energy produce from the movement of electrons?
Energy is the movement of electrons, this is hard to wrap your head around, but that is what energy is.
Where are electron found in an atom and describe their movement?
Electrons are located out side the nucleus in atom, and these are called as extra nuclear particles. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus as planets do round the sun
How is the movement of electrons in a conductor related to the formation of magnetic field?
how is the movement of electrons in a conductor related to the formation of a magnetic field
Electricity is caused by the movement of?
electrons
What is elctricity a movement of?
Electricity if the movement of electrons in matter, or positrons in antimatter.
The movement of electrons through a conductor is called?
The motion of electrons is called elecricity. Electricity is used to represent the liberated out put by the movement of electrons.
Describe how the movement of electrons between two objects with balanced charges could cause the buildup of electric charge in both objects-?
Electrons have a charge of minus one,and by moving them between objects, they attract charges, and hence they built up charges in them.
