Electrons don't travel along a set "path". . .they're actually not really entirely particles. Electrons have properties of both particles and waves, so they tend to aggregate in certain specific areas around a nucleus called orbitals and sort of. . .vibrate around in those areas. But they don't travel in a set path, b/c they're not particles.
What else can I help you with?
An electrons path around the nucleus defines its?
An electron's path around the nucleus defines its energy level. The energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only exist at specific distances from the nucleus.
Difference between orbit and orbital?
axmed shOrbit is a concept from celestial mechanics and astronomy.Orbital is a concept from quantum mechanics, spectrometry, and chemistry.the circular path of rotation of electron around the nucleus is called an orbit . Whereas the region around the nucleus of an atom where probability of finding the electron is maximum is called orbital
How the path of an electrons differs in Bohr's model and in the modern model of the atom?
In Bohr's model, electrons travel in a direct, determined path around the nucleus. In the modern model of the atom, electrons behave more like waves on a vibrating string. Basically the electron's path cannot be predetermined.
Path of electrons around an atomic nucleus?
The path an electron takes around the nucleus is an ellipse, the same as the earth around the sun.The path is is a ellipse. The difference is the redshift of the electron is quantized by the Fine Structure Constant. cos(angle)= Alpha/n = 7.2E-3/n.
Do Electrons travel in one flat path around the nucleus of an atom?
No, they can statistically be found in a certain region around the nucleus, but they are not definite paths. This is the probability density function of the electron cloud (places the electron is more likely to be than others). Dr. Richard Feynman, the American physicist, postulated that there may only be one electron in the entire Universe and that it appears in all locations around all atomic nuclei. As a result the electron is definitely not travelling an any defined path.
What is an electron orbit region around an atom?
An orbit is the path around the nucleus of an atom. an electron generally moves along this orbit.
What moves around the nucleus of the atom?
Electrons move around the nucleus of the atom in different energy levels or orbitals. The movement of electrons creates an electron cloud around the nucleus, rather than following a specific path like planets around the sun.
An electrons path around the nucleus defines its?
An electron's path around the nucleus defines its energy level. The energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only exist at specific distances from the nucleus.
What is the smallest and least energetic path of the electron around a nucleus?
The smallest and least energetic path of an electron around a nucleus is the ground state, or lowest energy level. In this state, the electron occupies its lowest energy orbital closest to the nucleus.
What is a engerylevel?
The path of a given electron's orbit around a nucleus, marked by a constant distance from the nucleus.
In which direction does the electron rotate around the nucleus in an atom?
An electron doesn't have specific orbital path about an atomic nucleus. They move in specific energy levels that we identify as specific electron orbitals. But recall that the area where the electrons hang out is called the electron cloud. It's a "fuzzy zone" where electrons may be found. Electrons don't have specific routes about any atomic nucleus.

What parts of an atom has a negative charge?
The electron that are revolving around the atom in a fixed path is having negative charge.
Why electron always move around nucleus?
The question is flawed. Electrons don't "move around the nucleus," and it's pointless asking why something that doesn't happen happens. Mathematically speaking, they're "standing waves," or at least they obey the equations for a standing wave.
