Something is wrong with your question. Atoms aren't considered to travel in "orbits" per-se. Subatomic Particles such as electrons do travel in orbits. I'm trying to think of the exceptions to orbiting electrons. A positively charged hydrogen ion (H+) wouldn't necessary have well defined orbiting electrons, yet positive ions can't really exist independently of negative ions. Many metals can also have an element of delocalized electrons. And, plasma, of course, is an extreme state of electron delocalization.

What is stationary orbits of an atom?

Stationary orbits of an atom refer to the specific energy levels that electrons can occupy around the nucleus without emitting or absorbing energy. These orbits are defined by the quantized energy levels in which electrons can orbit the nucleus. The concept of stationary orbits forms the basis of Bohr's model of the atom.


Who discovered that electrons orbits the atom?

Neils Bohr assumed that electrons follow circular orbits in his model of the hydrogen atom. However, this was later proven to be incorrect, as electrons travel as waves and are not restricted to two-dimensional motion. They occupy three-dimensional space and do not have circular orbits.


Do electrons travel in orbits?

Negatively charged particle orbiting the nucleus of an atom?

An electron is a negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom in defined energy levels or shells. The electron's movement around the nucleus is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics and determines the atom's chemical properties.

What is the name of the particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom?

The electron is the sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom of matter. For anti-matter the sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus is the anti-electron (positron).
