Unfortunately, a lot of pictures show this. (Unfortunate, because it makes people think electrons really do "orbit" the nucleus; this is an oversimplification of the actual physics involved.)

How does the Bohr model and the quantum mechanical model differ?
The Bohr model of the atom describes the electrons as orbiting the nucleus in a stable circular path. The quantum mechanical model describes a probability cloud for the electron's position with respect to the nucleus, the shape of the cloud, any special orientations and the spin of the electron.
The part of an atom that would be found outside the nucleus is the _______.?
The parts of the atom found outside the nucleus would be the electrons, or positrons if the nucleus of the atom is made of antimatter. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows us though that the electrons aren't found just in the space outside the nucleus, but in a probabilistic cloud, partly inside the nucleus.
Why caesium can be used in photoelectric cell while lithium cannot be?
as lithium has compactly packed structure with less electrons nucleus shows strong force of attraction in all electrons. hence it is to difficult to remove electrons.
What is the difference between Bohr model and the electron cloud model?
Bohr's model depicts electrons in orbit around the nucleus. the electron cloud model shows orbitals within which an electron most likely is at any given time (the movement of electrons are random, and sometimes they get out of their orbital...i'm not making this up!). the electron cloud model is more accurate because electrons move closer and farther away from the nucleus, while the bohr model shows them at a given radius at all times.
Do electrons orbit the nucleus like the Moon orbits the Earth?
yes it does, because they are all in a big cloud and moving
Are neutrons inside or circling the nucleus?
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom. The classical model shows them circling but in fact, their position and path is more complicated. The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Protein is a molecule, not a component of atoms.
Who drew the atom as a nucleus surrounded by electrons?
Dalton 'drew' the first atom, however, this was essentially a circle with a letter in it. The popular version of the atom, as seen today, was theorized by Rutherford.
What did Niels Bohr describe electrons as?
The electrons in the Bohr's model of the atom have been compared to the planets of our solar system. While Sun has been compared to nucleus containing nutrons and protons. Make note that the path of the electrons in a stable atom is circular.
What would you say if someone said to describe an atom?
The mechanical model shows the nucleus surrounded by electrons similar to the solar system. The quantum model shows a nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons shaped like a doughnut.
Niels Bohrs' theory of the atom shows electrons moving around the nucleus in specific paths called?
Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific shells. The K shell is the closest to the nucleus, and is followed by the L, M, N, O, and P shells, which move further out as the letter increases.

What current model shows electrons traveling in specific energy levels around a nucleus of protons and neutrons?
Your question is not entirely correct; the current model does not show electrons traveling around a nucleus, but rather, surrounding a nucleus in the form of a cloud. Traveling electrons would necessarily emit photons and lose energy, and would therefore spiral into the nucleus. The current model is quantum mechanics.
What is the outer part of the atom is called?
The parts of the atom found outside the nucleus would be the electrons, or positrons if the nucleus of the atom is made of antimatter. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows us though that the electrons aren't found just in the space outside the nucleus, but in a probabilistic cloud, partly inside the nucleus.

What this element has five valence electrons shows properties of metals and non metals and has 33 protons in the nucleus of each atom?
Arsenic
The modern model of the atom shows that electrons are?
found in regions called orbitals
