What is the modern belief about electrons and how they move?

The current theory on electron shells and their movement is the Quantum Mechanical Theory, first developed by Niels Bohr in the first part of the 20th century, with adjustments made along the way. Briefly, electrons are confined to orbitals (s, p, d, and f) which have shapes that are geometrically determined. They travel in waves, like light, and they occupy discreet energy levels (i.e., "quanta") that are also derivable by mathematics.


What are the circular patterns around the nucleus?

Although commonly depicted as circular orbits in simple diagrams of atoms, this is incorrect. The electrons occupy statistical quantum mechanical "clouds" called orbitals, each of which can contain no more than two electrons (if fully occupied the two electrons in the orbital must have opposite spin states).
