How are particles arranged in the atoms?

Atoms consist of three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These particles are arranged in a specific way within an atom: Protons: Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Neutrons: Neutrons are neutral particles (they have no charge) located in the nucleus alongside protons. Neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom but not its charge. Electrons: Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in electron shells or energy levels. Electrons are much smaller and lighter than protons and neutrons. The outermost shell, known as the valence shell, is particularly important in determining the chemical behavior of an atom. The arrangement of these particles can be summarized as follows: The nucleus is at the center of the atom and contains protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or electron shells. The arrangement is often depicted using the electron cloud model, which represents the probability of finding an electron in a particular region around the nucleus. Electrons do not follow fixed paths like planets around the sun but are rather found in regions of probability called orbitals. The number of protons in an atom defines its element and determines its chemical properties. The number of electrons is typically equal to the number of protons, resulting in a neutral atom. The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus gives the atomic mass of the atom. In summary, the arrangement of particles in an atom involves protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in orbit around the nucleus. The specific arrangement and distribution of electrons contribute to the chemical behavior of the atom.


How did Bohrs model of the atom differ to Rutherfords?

The Bohr model added the effects of Quantum Mechanics to the Rutherford model, solving both its problem of why the electron orbits don't spiral inward to the nucleus while radiating electromagnetic radiation and explaining the already known spectral line emission/absorption properties.

Where are electrons located in the structure of an atom?

Electrons move in a random manner around the nucleus. hence do not follow a fixed path. Yet electrons do have a fixed energy level due to which the probable path traced by them is predictable. Over all, electrons are found in the form of clouds.


The path of electrons around the nucleus is compared to?

The path of electrons around the nucleus is most commonly compared to the motion of planets around the sun in our solar system. This comparison helps to visualize the idea of orbits or energy levels in which electrons exist in an atom. However, it's important to note that electrons do not actually follow a fixed path like planets; their movement is described by quantum mechanics and is better understood through probability distributions.


How do the Bohr model and the mechanical model of the atom differ in how they describe electrons?

the bohr model suggests that electrons follow orbits around the nucleus. Quantum mechanics describes electrons differently and gives them different properties. It tells us where an electron is most likely to be found but no defined path of motion around the nucleus


The current view of the atom describes the location of electrons as?

The current view of the atom describes the location of electrons as existing in electron clouds or orbitals around the nucleus. Electrons do not follow a specific path but are rather found within a specific probability distribution around the nucleus. This model is known as the quantum mechanical model.


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 follows the atoms around the orbit?

We need someone who understands the mechanics of subatomic particles better than I, but I don't think atoms normally orbit anything. Perhaps you mean electrons orbiting the nucleus. And again, as far as I remember nothing follows electrons in their orbit. We really need someone for this answer who knows a little quantum mechanics.

They follow a pattern for valence electrons.


Why are elements in the columns of the periodic table called representative element?

They follow a pattern for valence electrons.

What statement does not describe the current model of the atom?

The statement that electrons move in fixed circular orbits around the nucleus is incorrect. In the current model of the atom (the quantum mechanical model), electrons are described by probability distributions called orbitals and do not follow fixed circular paths.


Why protons are in neuclues and not in shells like electrons?

Actually, protons are in shells. They follow a similar behavior as do electrons, except that due to their much greater mass, they don;t move around as much as electrons do from their kinetic energy. That, and the fact that protons interact via the extremely short-ranged force called the strong nuclear force, while electrons don't, keep them clumped close together in the nucleus.


Do electrons surround the nucleus of the atom?

well electrons are negatively charged particles who are moving around the positive nucleus in elliptical circles which are technically called orbits,every electron remains with his nucleus until some strong force compells him to make bond with the neighbouring item and the result comes in the form of covelent bonds,ionic bonds etc. How many electrons are there in each shell(orbit)which can be calculated by the simple formula 2n2 where n stands for the number of the orbit in which electrons are moving likewise for first orbit put n=1 in the above formula you get answer 2 it means that first orbit contains maximum 2 electrons. put 2 in the above you get 8 and so on. This is a short version of electron orbit many more details will be in future if you have still some ambguity you can make a message to me at the following e-mail address shahqau1978@gmail.com it orbits the nucleus that consists of nuetrons and protons.
