Source sentences:
text: In atoms, there is a small nucleus in the center, which is where the protons and neutrons are, and electrons orbit the nucleus.
text: In reality, the electrons would surround the nucleus in a "cloud," not a planar ring like the solar system, and would assume rough geometric shapes in accordance with their energy levels, or shells.
text: It then became clear that electrons were moving around the nucleus, but how?
text: Rather than being a hard-shelled little nugget of matter, an atom—to restate the metaphor mentioned above—is a cloud of electrons surrounding a nucleus.
text: (Spin is a property that describes the angular momentum of electrons spinning around a nucleus.)
text: Using the observation, derived from quantum theory, that electrons only occupied specific energy levels, Bohr hypothesized that electrons orbited around a nucleus in the same way that planets orbit the Sun.
text: Explain that this is a simple model that shows an electron going around the nucleus.
text: Electrons float around the nucleus, but are bound by a force, and when these atoms bind themselves with other atoms, a molecule is formed.
text: He stated that the electrons orbited around this nucleus like planets around the sun.
text: The electrons rotate around the nucleus, in the same fashion as the sun revolves around the planets.
text: This model showed that electrons travel around the nucleus in fixed circular orbits.
text: In an uncharged, neutral atom, the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus is equal to the number of protons inside the nucleus.
text: Modern scientists understand atoms consist of a nucleus of positively-charged protons and neutral neutrons, with negatively-charged electrons orbiting the nucleus.
text: Figure 3.1 The Structure of the Atom Atoms have protons and neutrons in the center, making the nucleus, while the electrons orbit the nucleus.
text: The nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons (together called nucleons), while the electron cloud consists of negatively charged electrons which orbit the nucleus.
text: This theory gives the probability of locating electrons in a particular location, unlike assuming electrons orbit the nucleus as in the Bohr model.
text: Thus, by electronic structure, or configuration, of an atom is meant the way in which the electrons surrounding the nucleus occupy the various atomic orbitals available to them.
text: The quantum model is now also applied to the overall behavior of the electron; but before this could be fully achieved, scientists had to develop a new understanding of the way electrons move around the nucleus.
