Does electron revolve in an elliptical order around the nucleus? |
| Answer» The electrons hover around the nucleus in diffuse cloud-like waves, known as orbitals, that describe only the probability of finding the electron at different places within the atom. But those orbitals can combine to form a clump-like “wave packet” that contains the electrons and does orbit the nucleus like a planet. | |
