In the original model, electrons were describe as sticking in the nucleus, sort of like a plum pudding. Later, electrons were described as having fixed orbits of varying potential energy within the atom. Today, using quantum mechanics, electrons are described as having various potentials that describe their energy within the atom, but they do not have fixed orbits. They have quantum states instead, sort of a quantum cloud, with random positions, and some theories describe quantum states as being parallel existences in time/space.
What else can I help you with?
Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
What are the main subatomic particles located in the atom?
protons, neutrons, electrons.protons, neutrons, electrons.protons, neutrons, electrons.protons, neutrons, electrons.
What is the name of the areas in which electrons are located in an atom?
The areas in which electrons are located in an atom are called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by numbers (such as n = 1, 2, 3, etc.) and each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on its energy level.
In the current model of the atom the electrons are located in the?
They orbit around the nucleas of an atom, except in hydrogen atoms, which does not contain electrons at all.
Which subatomic particles has a negative charge and is located outside the nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom is made of neutrons and protons. Electrons move around the outside of the nucleus. The number of electrons around an atoms nucleus compared to the number of protons in the nucleus determines the charge of an atom, and the charge of an atom effects the way that an atom reacts with other atoms.
In an atom electrons are what?
valence electrons are the electrons located in the outer shell of an atom which are available for reaction

valence electrons are the electrons located in the outer shell of an atom which are available for reaction
What does the atomic number describe about an atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
Where are electron found in an atom and describe their movement?
Electrons are located out side the nucleus in atom, and these are called as extra nuclear particles. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus as planets do round the sun
Which of the following phrases describe valence electrons?
Electrons that are farthest from the nucleus
Where are the protons electrons and electrons located in an atom?
The protons and neutrons a in the middle while the electrons circle the outer area of the atom's field.
Where electrons located?
in the electron cloud of an atom.
What is used to show electrons in an atom?
Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons in atoms.
Where are proton neutrons electrons loacted on the atom?
the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom the electrons are located in the outer orbits
Where in the atom are the electrons that are used to form bonds located?
The electrons that participate in chemical bonds are located in the "valence shell" or outer energy level of that atom. They are known as the valence electrons, and they are the only part of the atom that participates in a chemical reaction.
What is the region of electrons?
The electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud.
How many electrons can be on a outer shell of a nucleus?
Electrons are not located in the nucleus of an atom.
