do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?
An atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons, electrons being the one that moves around the nucleus. The other two are in the nucleus.
In energy shells around and outside the nucleus of an atom!!!!
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.
The electrons in the Bohr's model of the atom have been compared to the planets of our solar system. While Sun has been compared to nucleus containing nutrons and protons. Make note that the path of the electrons in a stable atom is circular.
At the center of an atom is the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, which have a negative charge. The electrons move around the nucleus in specific energy levels or orbits.
The planetary theory of atoms suggests that atoms are like miniature solar systems, with electrons orbiting around a central nucleus. This model was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913 as an improvement on the earlier plum pudding model. It helped explain the stability of atoms and the discrete energy levels of electrons.
electrons
Assuming that's the nucleus of an atom, the answer is "electrons". They are in "clouds", sort of, around the nucleus of atoms.
Protons are particles in the atomic nucleus; electrons move around the nucleus.
The electrons flow around the atoms nucleus...the protons and neutrons are on the inside of the neucleus.
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.
Rutherford proposed that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets around the sun. This led to the development of the planetary model of the atom.

Electrons.
Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
All atoms have electrons, but not in the nucleus.
In the Bohr model, electrons move in circular orbits around the nucleus at specific energy levels. These energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy certain orbits corresponding to specific energy values. Electrons can jump between these energy levels by either absorbing or emitting energy in the form of photons.
