What else can I help you with?
Does a proton circulate around the nucleus?
NO!!! A proton does NOT circulate around the nucleus. It is part of the Nucleus. Proton(s) together with neutron(s) form the nucleus of an atom; collectively known as 'nucleons'. Electrons circluate around the nucleus as clouds in energy shells. With in the nucleus protons rotate within themselves. They are not static 'lumps' of charge. As an analogy, think of the Solar System. The Sun is the nucleus, and the Sun is known to rotate. The planets are the electrons circulating the Sun and the planets are also known to rotate; think of Earth.
Do protons circle the nucles of an atom?
No, Electrons do. Protons do not orbit around the nucleus of atom. It is electron which moves around the nucleus.
Why electrons revolve nucleus?
If they did not revolve, but stayed in one place, they would have no energy and would combine with protons in the nucleus to form neutrons. Electrons are NOT 'dot-point' particles, but a 'cloud' around the nucleus. The analogy is the clouds around the Earth. The Earth is the nucleus. The clouds have varying densities about the Earth; cloudless sky or dense dark sky etc., and move ) have energy). However if you take away the Earth, these clouds will form a sphere, and this sphere will have a Centre of Gravity/Mass( the dot point). This gives electrons a 'duality' of character, everywhere at once and a dot point. Hope that helps!!!!!
What is the modern definition of an atom?
An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. It consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules and compounds through chemical bonds.
What is the ring structure of an atom?
The ring structure of an atom is actually the reference to the movement of electrons around the nucleus. In reality, electrons don't really form such a ring/ But for the purpose of drawing an atom, the ring refers to the movement of electrons in an orbit around the nucleus.
Which subatomic particles form a cloud around the nucleus?
Electrons are what form the cloud around a nucleus
What is around an atom's nucleus?
It is the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The electrons move in their orbits around the nucleus, and they form the cloud.
Where are electrons located in the structure of an atom?
Electrons move in a random manner around the nucleus. hence do not follow a fixed path. Yet electrons do have a fixed energy level due to which the probable path traced by them is predictable. Over all, electrons are found in the form of clouds.
What particles form a cloud around the nucleus an atom?
Electrons form a cloud around the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative charge and move rapidly in a probability distribution around the nucleus, representing the electron cloud or electron cloud model of an atom.
Why the size of atom is biggest than nucleus?
The size of an atom is bigger than the nucleus because an atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by electron clouds. The electrons are located further away from the nucleus, leading to the overall larger size of the atom.
Do electrons surround the nucleus?
In simple models, yes. They do. In a more correct and more complex model, it is not possible to determine the exact position of an electron at any point, (as they are quantum) but areas of high probability for the electrons to be in exist, they are called orbitals, and yes, they surround the nucleus in a manner of speaking. In metallic bonding, the electrons de-localise from the orbitals, and they float around the substance. These electrons are not surrounding the nucleus.
Does a proton circulate around the nucleus?
NO!!! A proton does NOT circulate around the nucleus. It is part of the Nucleus. Proton(s) together with neutron(s) form the nucleus of an atom; collectively known as 'nucleons'. Electrons circluate around the nucleus as clouds in energy shells. With in the nucleus protons rotate within themselves. They are not static 'lumps' of charge.

Is a nucleus made up of protons and electrons or electrons and neutrons or protons and neutrons?
The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons; the electrons form electron shells around the nucleus.
Do electrons and protons circle neutrons?
In an atom, electrons move around the nucleus, which contains both protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, while electrons move in orbitals around the nucleus. The orbits of electrons are complex and not necessarily circular.
Where in an atom are the protons and neutrons located?
The protons and neutrons are grouped together in the nucleus. The electrons form a cloud around the nucleus.
What particles form a cloud around the nucleus of the Atom?
It's a bad analogy, but I believe the answer you are after is 'electrons'.
Where do electrons live?
Electrons are found in different energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. They form a "cloud" of negative charge around the nucleus and are constantly moving within this cloud. Electrons do not have a fixed location like planets around a sun but occupy specific regions of space known as orbitals.
