How are the electrons distributed around the nucleus of the atom?

∙ 12y ago
Classically, the electrons are in fixed orbits around the nucleus and are equidistant from each other in the same orbit, because of electronic repulsion. Quantum mechanically, their locations and speed cannot be exactly determined simultaneously. The best way to describe the configuration is electron clouds and orbitals. Please see the related link.

∙ 15y agoThey are in what is called an electron cloud, an area where it is most likely to find an electron. inside that electron cloud there are levels and sub levels which are levels 1-7 and in each level there is sub levels "s" "p" "d" and "f". Level 1 has only sublevel "s" which can contain 2 electrons at the most. At Level 2 there are sub levels "s and d", sub level d can contain more electrons so an example would be 1s2 2s2 2d5 , so on and so forth.

A subatomic particle that circles an atom's nucleus?
Electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.
What spins around a nucleus of an atom?
"electrons"
The part of an atom orbits the nucleus?
Electrons orbit the nucleus. The nucleus is comprised of protons and neutrons.
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.
Where are the electrons located in Bohr's atomic model?
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.
Does electrons make up an atom nucleus?
No, the electrons are around the nucleus, not in the nucleus.
What is around an atom's nucleus?
It is the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The electrons move in their orbits around the nucleus, and they form the cloud.
Where are electrons in an atom?
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
In an atom electrons .?
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
Are the number of electrons in the nucleus of an atom that element's atomic number?
There are no electrons in the nucleus of an atom, the electrons are in the orbitals around and outside the nucleus.There are no electrons in the nucleus of an atom, the electrons are in the orbitals outside and around the nucleus.
What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?
What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?an electron cloud. not neutron
What is a particle that revolves around the nucleus of an atom?
a particle that revolves around the nucleus of an atom is an electron Electrons
Where are the nucleus and the electrons located in the atom?
The nucleus is the center of an atom and is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons freely orbit around the nucleus.
Where are the nucleus and electrons located in the atom?
The nucleus is the center of an atom and is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons freely orbit around the nucleus.
Where do you find the electrons in atoms?
In energy shells around and outside the nucleus of an atom!!!!
Electrons reside in the atom?
In the orbit around an atom - not in the nucleus
What is the region around the nucleus of an atom occupied by electrons?
Electrons
