Do electrons orbit around the nucleus because there is an electrical charge between electrons and protons?

This is essentially correct. The electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, and the fundamental law of electrostatics is that opposite charges attract and like charges repel. The positive charge on the nucleus attracts and "holds" the electrons in orbit about the nucleus. It is electromagnetics that holds the electrons in orbit about that nucleus. Answer2: The attraction of the positive nucleus attracts the electrons to the nucleus by a centripetal force vp/r where v= Z alpha c. The electrons exeert a centrifugal force cDEL.P = -cp/r cos(P). When the orbit is stable the centripetal force equals the centrifugal force vp/r = cp/r cos(P) and the electrons do not fall into the nucleus. The balance gives v/c = cos(P), the redshift. This is the result of the Quaternion Energy W = -vh/r + cP, the atom has a scalar energy -vh/r and a vector energy cmV=cP, the Momentum vector energy. The mystery of what holds the electron from falling into the nucleus is the Divergence of the vector energy. Physics has come to grips with the fact that energy is a Quaternion quantity with a vector energy and the Divergence of the vector energy creates the centrifugal force, the cosmological constant force and the Dark Energy.


Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?

Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.


Which parts of the atom move around the nucleous?

Electrons. They have a negative charge.


Is electrons found inside the nucleus?

They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.


Are the electrons of an atom found in the nucleus along with the protons?

Electrons are never found in the nucleus of an atom, along with the protons. They exist in shells that surround the nucleus.

What force initiate the motion of electrons around the nucleus?

centrifugal force


What prevents an electron from being freed due to its centrifugal force?

A negatively charged electron is attracted by the positively charged nucleus so the electron revolves around the nucleus so that it can generate enough centrifugal force in order that the attractive force is nullified and the electron can stay in its orbit


Why not electron collapse into the nucleus?

Electrons inhabit a probability cloud around the nucleus, which is related to their possible velocities. The closer the cloud is to the nucleus, the higher the kinetic energy, which allows it to overcome the electromagnetic attraction of the protons.

Why doesn't electrons slam into the nucleus?

The electrons vector energy cmV = cP ceates a centrifugal force, cDEL.P that balances the centripetal force of the nucleus, vp/r . Thus v/c= cos(PR) . where v=Z Alpha c thus cos(PR)= Z alpha <1.

Boron has how many electrons in the nuclei?

No atom has its electrons in its nucleus, and boron has five electrons around its nucleus.


What particles might be found in shells around a 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.
