Electrons are said to occupy orbitals, around the atomic nucleus. They do not actually orbit in the manner that planets orbit the sun; they spread themselves out, as an electron cloud, and surround the nucleus rather than moving in an orbit.

Where are the electrons located in Bohr's atomic model?

In this model, the electrons move or orbit around the protons that are at the center of the atom. Electrons move around the nucleus, which contains the proton, in orbits that have a definite size and energy.

What was the basic new proposal in the Bohr model of the atoms?

Bohr proposed that an electron is found in circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus, and they can only orbit at a specific fixed distance from the nucleus.
