What does the Planetary Theory of Atoms suggest?

The planetary theory of atoms suggests that atoms are like miniature solar systems, with electrons orbiting around a central nucleus. This model was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913 as an improvement on the earlier plum pudding model. It helped explain the stability of atoms and the discrete energy levels of electrons.


Why electrons revolve around the nucleus in anti-clockwise direction?

The direction of electron movement around the nucleus is based on convention and can be either clockwise or anti-clockwise. There is no specific reason why electrons would revolve around the nucleus in one direction over the other. Both directions are equally valid and are used interchangeably in atomic models.


Why electrons revolve around around nucleus?

You can imagine the electrons as being in a similar situation as the planets that circle the Sun. The centripetal force is the attraction by the Sun (for planets), and by the nucleus (for electrons). Remember that opposite forces attract each other. Actually the situation is more complicated, due to certain quantum phenomena, but this should give you a general idea. Specifically, electrons are not free to travel in any orbit - they can't have just any energy, they can only be at very specific energy levels.


Are neutrons located in the orbits around the nucleus?

nuetrons and protons make up the nucleus, Electrons revolve around the nucleus


What is the name for the negative subatomic particle in an atom?

electrons (e-) have a 1- charge, while protons have a 1+ charge and neutrons have a 0 charge.
