You're thinking of electrons, please remember that they don't really "orbit " the nucleus ... that's just a model we use to try and understand them.

Why tornadoes rotates circle?

Tornadoes rotate in a circe due to electricity. The particles in the air have a nuetral charge and when two places in the electromagnetic field come close with opposite charges, they both charge and repel the air particles. The nuetral particles drifts towards the positively charged EM field which charges it positively. Once it is charged, the negative EM field attracts it and begins to charge it negatively. Once it is charged negatively the positive EM field attracts it again. This cycle will produce a circular motion which it what causes tornadoes to spin.


Why do electrons circle the nucleus?

Electrons circle the nucleus in specific energy levels due to the forces of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This motion is described by quantum mechanics as electron orbitals, which represent the probability of finding an electron in a particular region around the nucleus.


How does an atom changing into a ion lead to the ability to form compounds?

electrons are negatively charged. an ion has an incomplete circle of valence electrons. therefore a negatively charged ion will share some of its electrons with a politively charged ion so that the compound has no charge.


Electrons are particles that are?

subatomic particles with a negative charge. They orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels and are involved in chemical bonding. They are essential for the behavior of matter at the atomic and molecular levels.


Protons and neutrons are?

Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge. Together they make up the majority of an atom's mass.


Atoms have 2 parts What are they and how is each one charged?

Atoms are made up of three parts actually. The protons, electrons, and neutrons. The neutrons are neutrally charged and are the heaviest part of the atom, located in the nucleus. The electrons are the small and almost weightless part of an atom, they are negatively charged and circle the nucleus. The protons are positively charged, and also located in the nucleus.


What is true about the electrons in a sulfur ion?

Sulfur ion has gained or lost electrons, making it positively or negatively charged. In a sulfur ion, the number of protons remains the same, but the number of electrons changes. This change in electrons leads to the ion having a different charge than a neutral sulfur atom.


What is an atom with 3 neutrons 3 protons 3 electrons and a nucleus called?

This may seem confusing but this question is impossible to answer. The nucleus of the atom is made of positively charges protons and neutrons with no charge held together by what is known as the strong force. Electrons are negatively charged and circle the nucleus at nearly the speed of light. There is no atom with three protons and three neutrons.


What does borh model represent?

Bohr's models represent the structure of the atom, as he idealized. In the middle we would have a circle representing the positively charged nucleus. Then, circling around the nucleus in specific orbits we would have the negatively charged electrons, like the planets circling around the sun, but with electromagnetic forces instead of gravitational.


Why electron move in circular path around the nucleus?

because the electric field of the nucleolus is radially symmetrical. And if you really want to get picky, the electron doesn't move in a circle but occupies a spherical probability continuum with indeterminable position and velocity.


What is cycloctron?

It's a device used to accelerate charged particles. The device is circular, so the path of the particles is also, and each time a particle goes around the circle it is forced to go faster.


What shape do ionic compounds make?

Ionic compounds typically form a three-dimensional lattice structure due to the strong electrostatic forces between the positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. This lattice structure results in a repeating pattern of alternating cations and anions in a crystal lattice.
