The nucleus and the electron both revolve around a common center of charge. The only atom with equal charge in both places is hydrogen. Every atom heavier than hydrogen has more charge in the nucleus than there is on an electron. By the time you get to uranium, there is more than 90 times as much charge in the nucleus as there is on an electron, so the common center of charge is many times farther from each electron than it is from the nucleus. Also, each nuclear particle ... each proton and neutron ... is almost 2000 times more massive than an electron, and the same argument applies to the center of mass in the case of orbits governed by gravitational force, such as the solar system. But in the atom, the electrical forces completely dominate over the gravitational forces (by something like 1040.)

What does an electron-cloud model show?

The term "electron cloud" was coined by an American physicist named Richard Feynman. The electron cloud model is a visual representation of the possible locations of electrons in an atom. It is known that electrons are found on orbitals around the nucleus and this model visually allows us to picture the probable locations of the electrons around the nucleus.


Why electron not present in the nucleus?

As it will violate heisenberg uncertainity principle as well as quantum statistics will not permit it. But dont know proper reasons for it.


What are similar with Dalton model and electron cloud models?

Both the Dalton model and the electron cloud model are representations of the structure of an atom. They both describe the atom as having a nucleus at the center and electrons orbiting around it. However, the electron cloud model introduces the idea of electron probability density clouds instead of fixed orbits.


What is the most common type of radioactive decay?

Sometimes there is, depending on the type of decay. In the so-called "beta decy", the atom emits either an electron or an anti-electron.


Where are the atoms located?

Atoms are located in the nucleus at the center of an atom, which contains protons and neutrons, and in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, where electrons are found. These atoms make up all matter in the universe.

What is the electrically neutral particle in the nucleus called?

The electrically neutral particle in the nucleus is called a neutron. Neutrons have no electric charge and contribute to the stability of the nucleus by balancing the repulsive forces between positively charged protons.
