No, but the do orbit in a certain shell.
On Bohr's model of the atom, electrons move in circular orbits around the nucleus. These orbits have specific energy levels, and electrons can transition between these orbits by either absorbing or emitting energy in the form of photons. The orbits were quantized, meaning that only certain orbits were allowed for the electrons to move in.
In this model, the electrons move or orbit around the protons that are at the center of the atom. Electrons move around the nucleus, which contains the proton, in orbits that have a definite size and energy.
Electrons orbit in specific orbits due to the quantized nature of their energy levels in quantum mechanics. This quantization restricts the possible orbits an electron can occupy, leading to the formation of distinct energy levels and specific orbits around the nucleus.
The Bohr model
Niels Bohr proposed the idea that electrons have fixed orbits around the nucleus of an atom in his model of the atom in 1913. This concept helped to explain the stability of atoms and the spectral lines observed in hydrogen.

Energy levels or energy shells or orbits
Neils Bohr assumed that electrons follow circular orbits in his model of the hydrogen atom. However, this was later proven to be incorrect, as electrons travel as waves and are not restricted to two-dimensional motion. They occupy three-dimensional space and do not have circular orbits.
Something is wrong with your question. Atoms aren't considered to travel in "orbits" per-se. Subatomic Particles such as electrons do travel in orbits. I'm trying to think of the exceptions to orbiting electrons. A positively charged hydrogen ion (H+) wouldn't necessary have well defined orbiting electrons, yet positive ions can't really exist independently of negative ions. Many metals can also have an element of delocalized electrons. And, plasma, of course, is an extreme state of electron delocalization.

The electrons circle the nucleus in specific orbits.
Electrons orbits around the nucleus, which have neutrons and protons. When there is an imbalance of protons and electrons, it creates a static electricity. What I am trying to say is, nothing really special happens.
Electrons generally orbit in ellipses.
professor NEILS BOHR postulated from his discrete electron orbit theory that electrons get caught in imaginary orbits around the atomic nucleus.
