No one knows.

The fact that it doesn't has been the source of much of the uncertainty principal & quantum mechanics.

One thing you should know is that the electron is NOT a tiny planet spinning around the nucleus.

In fact the "stuff" of electrons is NOT the "stuff" of the nucleus (quarks) ...

maybe they repel each other, maybe they just can't be in the same place.

What particles might be found in shells around a nucleus?

The particles found in the area surrounding the nucleus are called electrons. Electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but are repelled from other electrons. This is why they can be found orbiting the nucleus.


What major weakness in Thompson and model did Bohr correct?

Bohr corrected the major weakness in Thompson's model by proposing that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific, quantized energy levels rather than in a continuous spiral. This resolved the issue of why electrons do not radiate energy and fall into the nucleus, as described in Thompson's model.

What current model shows electrons traveling in specific energy levels around a nucleus of protons and neutrons?

The current model that shows electrons traveling in specific energy levels around a nucleus of protons and neutrons is the Bohr model of the atom. In this model, electrons occupy discrete energy levels known as shells and move in orbits around the nucleus.
