Technically, electrons do not have to revolve in a circular orbit. Electrons exist in a cloud around the nucleus that can take on many different shapes. The shape of the cloud is represented by the quantum number "L." For example, if an atom has "L" numbers of zero and one, it has two clouds with two different orbitals, the outermost one being a "p" orbital, in which electrons revolve in a figure eight.

Do electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom in perfect circular orbits?

No, electrons do not revolve around the nucleus of an atom in perfect circular orbits. Instead, they exist in certain regions around the nucleus called orbitals, which describe the probability of finding an electron in a specific area. The behavior of electrons is better understood using quantum mechanics rather than classical mechanics.


What does the root word of the word revolve mean?

Another word for orbit?

Another word for the word orbit is "revolution" (verb to revolve).A planet revolves around a star, and rotates(spins) on its axis.For electrons in an atom, the other term used for orbitals is electron shells.
