If they did not revolve, but stayed in one place, they would have no energy and would combine with protons in the nucleus to form neutrons.
Electrons are NOT 'dot-point' particles, but a 'cloud' around the nucleus. The analogy is the clouds around the Earth. The Earth is the nucleus. The clouds have varying densities about the Earth; cloudless sky or dense dark sky etc., and move ) have energy).
However if you take away the Earth, these clouds will form a sphere, and this sphere will have a Centre of Gravity/Mass( the dot point). This gives electrons a 'duality' of character, everywhere at once and a dot point.
Hope that helps!!!!!

∙ 16y agoAn atom's electrons keep moving around its nucleus simply because they are part of that atom. The electrons are not separate from it. Without its electrons no atom can exist as a stable atom. Electrons can migrate (move away) from a given atom but only if other electrons immediately take the place of the ones that have migrated. Such migrating electrons are what form an electric current. An electric current can be made to flow in a solid, a liquid or a gas. If you want to be able to understand and explain this better it would be a good idea to study Physics, Chemistry and Electronics at University!

∙ 9y agoMuch like the planets and the sun, electrons are pulled to the nucleus by gravity. Unlike the original Bohr's model, however, the modern atomic model describes the electrons as moving around the nucleus like a cloud, rather than in perfect orbits.

∙ 12y agoA thorough explanation requires consideration of quantum principles, but the traditional explanation is that the positively charged protons electrostatically attract the negatively charged electrons.

∙ 13y agoThis is due, to a great part, to the electric attraction between the electrons (negative) and the protons (positive).

Where do you find the electrons in atoms?
In energy shells around and outside the nucleus of an atom!!!!
Why does electrons only revolve around nucleus why not neutrons or protons revolve?
Neutrons and protons make up the nucleus; therefore, they cannot revolve around the nucleus. Electrons, on the other hand, are on orbitals surrounding the nucleus. The number of orbitals and the number of electrons per orbital depend on the placement of the element on the periodic table, the atomic mass, the atomic number, etc. A maximum of eight electrons can be on one orbital.
Why protons does not revolve around electrons?
This is because the protons are found in the nucleus so it wontrevolvearound the electrons.
What is between the electrons and the nucleus of an Atom?
Nucleus is positively charged and contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. The nucleus is present at the centre of an atom. The electrons are negatively charged and revolve around the nucleus.
What is around the center of an atom?
the electrons revolve around the nucleus which is in the center of the atom, they revolve around it in 7 imaginary energy levels.
What does the Planetary Theory of Atoms suggest?
D. Electrons revolve around the nucleus like plants around the sun. LUCKY guess. its right ;)
What is the direction of motion of electrons?
Electrons revolve around the nucleus of atoms in orbits.
Where do you find the electrons in atoms?
In energy shells around and outside the nucleus of an atom!!!!
Why electrons revolve arround the nucleus?
because they are negative charged.
A subatomic particle that circles an atom's nucleus?
Electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.
How many electrons surround the nucleus of an atom of potassium?
There are 19 electrons in the potassium nucleus.
Why does electrons only revolve around nucleus why not neutrons or protons revolve?

The number of orbitals and the number of electrons per orbital depend on the placement of the element on the periodic table, the atomic mass, the atomic number, etc. A maximum of eight electrons can be on one orbital.
Where are neutrons on the atom?
They are in the nucleus, i.e. the center, of the atom. There are also protons in the nucleus, but the electrons revolve around the nucleus.
Why protons does not revolve around electrons?
This is because the protons are found in the nucleus so it wontrevolvearound the electrons.
What is the force behind the electrons to revolve around the nucleus?
nuclear energy
Who showed that electrons revolve around the nucleus in set orbits?
you showed it
Are neutrons located in the orbits around the nucleus?
nuetrons and protons make up the nucleus, Electrons revolve around the nucleus
