Scientists concluded that electrons occupy specific energy levels by exciting atoms of different elements with UV light and watching the light emitted as the electrons fall back to ground state. Different elements had different characteristic emissions each time.

J J Thomson could be considered the discoverer of electron paths around the nucleus, and later quantum work by folk such as Pauli, Planck, and so on. Becquerel and Rutherford may also be considered founding members of this club.

The quantum theories essentially disallow two particles with identical properties in a given energy level.

Have a crack at some of these names in wikipedia.org, and also for electron.

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.

Electrons. They have a negative charge.


Does electrons make up an atom nucleus?

No, the electrons are around the nucleus, not in the nucleus.


In which direction does the electron rotate around the nucleus in an atom?

An electron doesn't have specific orbital path about an atomic nucleus. They move in specific energy levels that we identify as specific electron orbitals. But recall that the area where the electrons hang out is called the electron cloud. It's a "fuzzy zone" where electrons may be found. Electrons don't have specific routes about any atomic nucleus.


Niels Bohrs' theory of the atom shows electrons moving around the nucleus in specific paths called?

Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific shells. The K shell is the closest to the nucleus, and is followed by the L, M, N, O, and P shells, which move further out as the letter increases.
