Do electrons surround the nucleus of the atom?

Answer 1

well electrons are negatively charged particles who are moving around the positive nucleus in elliptical circles which are technically called orbits,every electron remains with his nucleus until some strong force compells him to make bond with the neighbouring item and the result comes in the form of covelent bonds,ionic bonds etc.

How many electrons are there in each shell(orbit)which can be calculated by the simple formula 2n2 where n stands for the number of the orbit in which electrons are moving likewise for first orbit put n=1 in the above formula you get answer 2 it means that first orbit contains maximum 2 electrons.

put 2 in the above you get 8 and so on.

This is a short version of electron orbit many more details will be in future

it orbits the nucleus that consists of nuetrons and protons.

Answer 2

Electrons are found in regions around the nucleus of an atom called electron shells or orbitals. They do not strictly orbit the nucleus like planets around the sun, but instead exist in areas of high probability around the nucleus based on their energy levels.

Answer 3

Simply put, electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom because the electric charge of the nucleus, which is positive, attracts and "holds" the negatively charged electrons in their orbits.

Electrons dont orbit at all.

They occupy a space around their nucleus.

Answer 4

It is more accurate to say that electrons move randomly around the nucleus, and statistically they can be found in specific regions, or clouds, with a known probability. An orbit (such as a satellite orbit) implies a precise and predictable trajectory, which is not the case in an electron.

Answwer2:

Yes electrons orbit around the nucleus. Orbits interact and thus orbits are not stable predictable trajectories like lonely satellites. charged electrons interact and orbits vary.

Answer 5

Because electrons are so small their exact location can never be accurately determined, if fact it is often useful to describe them as an energy wave rather than a particle. All the models that you see of atoms with shell orbital about then are actually portraying a probability conduit. The most popular of these is the 90% probability conduit - that is that volume where a particular electron is most likely to be found. With this in mind you can see why you cannot say that an electron surrounds the nucleus of the atom. It is very probable that they do but you can never say for sure.

Answer 6

That is complex to answer as they follow a probabilistic quantum path not a deterministic path.

Electrons are found in "orbitals" probability clouds. Two electrons per orbital.

S orbitals are simplest: spherical.

P orbitals are more complex and come in sets of 3: roughly dumbbell shaped.

D orbitals are very complex and come in sets of 5: roughly hourglass shaped with a donut around the middle.

F orbitals which come in sets of 7.

Answer 7

Electrons rotate around the nucleus of an atom

Answer 8

Yes, without a doubt. Electrons float in definite orbits.

Answer 9

The electrons orbit round the nucleus of one atom depending with the element.

Answer 10

A circular type orbit.
