Which scientist pictured the atom as having a central nucleus with electrons moving around it in well defined paths?

the paths of moving electrons are called rings or shells


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.


Niels Bohrs' theory of the atom shows electrons moving around the nucleus in specific paths called?

Niels Bohr's theory of the atom proposed that electrons move around the nucleus in specific, fixed paths called orbits or energy levels. These orbits have specific energy levels and are sometimes referred to as shells.


Electrons dart in ever changing paths within energy levels called an?

Electrons dart in ever changing paths within energy levels called orbitals. Orbitals are regions of space around the nucleus where electrons are most likely to be found. The different shapes and orientations of orbitals reflect the probability distribution of finding an electron in that region.


The Bohr model of the atom which placed the electrons at definite distances from the nucleus is known as what?

The Bohr model of the atom, which placed electrons at specific energy levels around the nucleus, is known as the planetary model of the atom. In this model, electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths or "shells."

Is the number of electrons in each energy level considered a shell?

Actually each energy level is considered to be a shell and the electrons are moving in the shell (in fixed paths).

Who modeled the atom with electrons that move in fixed circular paths around a dense positively charged nucleus?

Niels Bohr


The modern model of the atom shows that electrons are?

found in regions called orbitals


What is the Paths around the Nucleus called?

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.


What did Bohr propose about electrons?

Bohr proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in fixed, circular paths or energy levels. These paths are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy specific energy levels and transition between them by absorbing or emitting energy. This formed the basis of the Bohr model of the atom.


Niels Bohrs' theory of the atom shows electrons moving around the nucleus in specific paths called?

Niels Bohr's theory of the atom proposed that electrons move around the nucleus in specific, fixed paths called orbits or energy levels. These orbits have specific energy levels and are sometimes referred to as shells.


What atom has an electron cloud instead of orbiting electrons?

All atoms of all elements have electrons in the electron cloud (better known as orbitals). The concept of orbits (electrons moving in fixed paths) is now replaced by orbitals.

Who discovered electrons are found in electron clouds not paths and what year?

Yes the paths make the atom easier to read than having to draw electrons all over the atom model
