Question

Electron moment originates from its orbital motion around the nucleus and it spin around its own axis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

In an atom each electron behave like a magnet.

the two types of motions of electrons in an atom i.e. (1) orbit motion around the nucleus (2) spin on its axis creates a magnetic movement. This is due to the fact that electrons are charged particals and when they are set in motion, it can be consider as a small loop current which passes a small magnetic movement.
