Rutherford, using his gold foil scattering experiment
The potassium atom has 19 electrons orbiting its nucleus.
The electrostatic force between the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons is responsible for keeping electrons in orbit around the nucleus. This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the electrons in their orbit.
The nucleus is the center of an atom and is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons freely orbit around the nucleus.
The particles found in the area surrounding the nucleus are called electrons. Electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but are repelled from other electrons. This is why they can be found orbiting the nucleus.
only the electrons have a negative charge but they go around the nucleus
Niels Bohr
Because they are the outer electrons in an atom and they orbit around the nucleus. But you should ask a scientist this question. NOT put it on ask.com. OR look it up on google.com. it is very likely that you will find something there.
do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?
electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles which surround the nucleus and never leave their orbit unless and until they are excited by a photon(packet of light)
Electrons are the only elementary particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom in distinct energy levels or shells. Other particles such as protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus itself.
Electrons orbit the nucleus, loosely speaking; they do not really orbit the same way that planets orbit the sun, they actually spread out into a cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
No. In a nucleus are protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.
Electrons
They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.
electrons orbit the protons and neutrons
They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.
No, protons do not orbit the nucleus in an atom. They are located within the nucleus along with neutrons. Electrons are the particles that orbit the nucleus in an atom.
