First, recall that planets orbit the sun, not the other way around. Secondly, the term electron cloud is used to describe the body of electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom. To answer your question as succinctly as possible, the analogy of planets orbiting the sun is one of the best to consider when thinking about the orbit of electrons

What is the percent of electrons that are predicted to be located in the electron cloud?

In the electron cloud model, electrons are predicted to be located in the electron cloud 100% of the time. This model suggests that electrons do not orbit the nucleus in fixed paths like planets around the sun, but rather exist as a probability distribution around the nucleus.


Are electrons are found inside the nucleus?

No, they are directly found outside of the nucleus in the electron cloud.


Where do electrons orbit?

Electrons do not orbit around the nucleus like planets around the sun. Instead, they exist in electron clouds around the nucleus, depicted as a probability distribution of where an electron is likely to be found.


Which takes longer to orbit the sun oort cloud or kupiter belt?

The Oort cloud is generally much further out than the Kuiper belt, so Oort cloud objects will generally take a lot longer to orbit our sun.


Difference between orbit and orbital?

axmed shOrbit is a concept from celestial mechanics and astronomy.Orbital is a concept from quantum mechanics, spectrometry, and chemistry.the circular path of rotation of electron around the nucleus is called an orbit . Whereas the region around the nucleus of an atom where probability of finding the electron is maximum is called orbital


Why don't electrons orbit around the atoms nucleus like planets orbit the sun?

do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?


What does Oort cloud mean?

The Oort cloud is a theoretical and incredibly vast mass of comets that are believed to orbit the sun at great distances.


Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?

the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.


What moves around the nucleus of the atom?

Electrons move around the nucleus of the atom in different energy levels or orbitals. The movement of electrons creates an electron cloud around the nucleus, rather than following a specific path like planets around the sun.


Does the Andromeda galaxy have a sun?

The Andromeda Galaxy does not orbit a sun as a planet does; it is an immense cloud consisting of as many as 1 trillion stars, each of which can be considered a sun.


Is Sedna a oort cloud?

Sedna is not located in the Oort Cloud. It is a trans-Neptunian object with a highly elliptical orbit that takes it far from the Sun, but it does not reach the distant reaches of the Oort Cloud.


How scientists think the solar system formed.?

They believe a large gas cloud in space was condensed into what we now call the sun. Chunks of this cloud flew into orbit around the sun and eventually condensed into planets.
