Question

The extranuclear part of the atom in which electrons are revolving is known as_____.

Answer 1

According to Bohr's model of an atom:

• An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus which is present at the center of an atom.
• The negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom in the circular orbits.
• These orbits are associated with a fixed amount of energy and are therefore also known as energy levels.

Thus, the extranuclear part of the atom in which electrons are revolving is known as orbits or energy levels.
