Niels Bohr developed the theory. However, Ernest Rutherford was really the first to think of it.

Do electrons behave like planets rotating on their axes?

No, electrons do not behave like planets rotating on their axes. Electrons are fundamental particles that exhibit wave-particle duality and do not have a definite position or orbit like planets. Instead, they exist as probability clouds around the nucleus in an atom.


Why don't electrons orbit around the atoms nucleus like planets orbit the sun?

do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?


What was the atomic model that resembled planets orbiting the sun?

The atomic model in which electrons orbit the nucleus the way that planets orbit the sun is called the Bohr atom. We now know that atoms are really not very much like that at all, and electrons do not orbit the nucleus, they form shells, rather than orbits.


How does the current model of the atom differ from J.J Thomson model?

J.J. thomson's model doesn't have an electrons flowing around like how are planets orbit the sun. The current model has these things.


How do electrons of an atom compare to planet and the sun?

Inside atoms, there are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutrally charged, and electrons are negatively charged. In most atoms, the number of protons and neutrons are equal, meaning the atom is neutrally charged. However, protons and neutrons are about the same size, while electrons are MUCH smaller. For reasons we don't fully understand, the protons and neutrons stick together in a clump at the center of an atom while the electrons circle around. We call that clump the nucleus. Now, this is very similar to a solar system. The sun is very large, with many smaller planets circling around. The difference is, planets circle around the sun because of gravity, and electrons circle around the nucleus because God likes to screw with us.

Do the electron cloud orbit like the sun?

First, recall that planets orbit the sun, not the other way around. Secondly, the term electron cloud is used to describe the body of electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom. To answer your question as succinctly as possible, the analogy of planets orbiting the sun is one of the best to consider when thinking about the orbit of electrons

Who said Electrons travel in orbits like planets around the sun?

This statement was made by Niels Bohr as part of his atomic model, which suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels, much like planets orbiting the sun.


Can electrons orbit anywhere they want like planets?

No, orbits are strictly determined.
