Do electrons move slow or fast around the nucleus?
Electrons move fast around the nucleus at speeds close to the speed of light. The exact speed of an electron is determined by its energy level and its distance from the nucleus.
What is the region around the nucleus where electrons are found?
The electron cloud. An electron cloud is a volume or region in the atom where it is likely to find or detect an electron. It is actually really hard to detect an electron because an atom is mostly empty space, electrons are orbiting the nucleus at almost the speed of light so they orbit really fast, the electrons are very tiny and may be point like since we don't really know the volume or size of the electron, and an atom in reality is 3 dimensional which the electron cloud and orbitals is 3 dimensional. Since electrons are so hard to detect then they would call this volume or region of the atom an electron cloud because the electron cloud is a volume or region where they know that electrons are likely to be there even if they are hard to find. Or maybe the electron cloud is where they can also know the different sub- orbitals or subshells of the electrons.
Do protons move at very fast speeds around the outside of the nucleus of an atom?
A proton vibrates at a velocity of around 30,000m/s or about 10% the speed of light. Since a proton has mass, to increase the velocity of the proton to the speed of light is theoretically impossible. It can however get pretty close, as is the case at CERN.

Who stated that electrons move around the nucleus?
This is a very complex and interesting question, and it has kept scientists busy for a long time. As you mentioned, an atom has a central heavy part, or nucleus, around which electrons orbit, like the planets around the sun. But why do they orbit it? The first important thing to know is that electrons have an electrical charge. Electrons are negatively charged, while the nucleus is positively charged. You may have heard the phrase "opposites attract"; well this is certainly true for charges. An electron is pulled toward the nucleus by the electric force, just like planets are pulled to the sun by gravity. OK, but why does the electron orbit, instead of just being pulled toward the nucleus and crashing into it? Think of it this way. Imagine you are coasting along on a skateboard at a constant speed, and you see something to your right that you are attracted to (maybe another boy or girl). You start to turn towards them, but your forward your motion will carry you past them. If the conditions are right, you'll keep turning, but your forward motion will keep making you miss them. You'll just circle them, always turning toward them, but never getting there. It's like that for the electrons (and planets, for that matter). They can't slow down, so they just keep turning and overshooting, forever circling the object of their desire. (Of course with a skateboard, you'll start to slow down, and you can spiral in to the object). This is only a tiny part of the story and it raises many further questions. Why is there an electrical attraction? What makes up the nucleus? Why doesn't the electron slowly lose speed and spiral down? Why is an electron moving in the first place? It is the way of science that every answered question leads to yet more questions! but i dont know who found out about this sorry=(
How does an electron move around the nucleus?
The electron has the speed of light.
What is the speed of the electron in its orbit?
The speed of an electron in its orbit around an atom is approximately 2.18 million meters per second.
What moves at a rate of speed around the nucleus of an atom?
electron
How fast do electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons move around the nucleus at speeds close to the speed of light, but their exact speed can vary based on their energy level and distance from the nucleus. They don't follow a fixed path like planets around the sun, but rather exist in areas known as orbitals with a probability of finding the electron at a given distance from the nucleus.
What moves at a high speed around nucleus of an atom?
Electrons move at high speeds around the nucleus of an atom. The electrons move in specific energy levels or shells, each with a different distance from the nucleus. This movement is what helps to define the chemical properties of the element.
Do electrons move slow or fast around the nucleus?
Electrons move fast around the nucleus at speeds close to the speed of light. The exact speed of an electron is determined by its energy level and its distance from the nucleus.
What is the speed of electron in shell?
speed of electrons varies from shell to shell . it increases from inner orbit to outer orbit
What is the work done by an electron revolving in a circular orbit of rdius r around the nucleus?
Here a centripetal force provided by electrostatic force of attraction acts on the electron towards the centre of orbit but motion is along the tangent to the circular orbit at ecah point. As force and displacement are in mutually perpendicular directions at each point, the work done is zero. E V SHAKKEER HUSSAIN
Where are elctrons found?
Electrons are found orbiting the nucleus of an atom. The reason they orbit is because the nucleus is positively charged, consisting of protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). Of course, different charges attract. So the electrons (negative) are attracted to the positively charged nucleus, but are moving so fast that their momentum exactly cancels out the attraction to the nucleus. If the electrons were orbiting any faster, they would fly out of the atom. If they were orbiting any slower, they would eventually become part of the nucleus.
What is a negative electron emitted from the nucleus of an atom at high speed?
beta particle
What does the wavelength of electron if it moves with the speed of light?
-- First of all, since the electron has rest mass, it can never move at the speedof light.-- Following DeBroglie, the electron's wavelength is such that an integral numberof them fit around the length of the electron's orbit when it's bound to an atom.
Where is the location of electrons in an atom?
Electrons are located outside the nucleus revolving around. These electrons may be named as Chemistry electrons. But when neutron within the nucleus decay, then proton and electron are produced. This electron was not already there in the nucleus. But only due to decay of neutron electron comes out. This electron may be named as Physics electron. This electron comes out at very speed and this is sensed as beta particle, named by Henry Becquerel.
