Question

The fixed paths along which the electrons are revolving around the nucleus are called ___(orbits/curviller\near path).

Answer 1

Understanding the concept:

The orbits of an atom are the circular orbits (shells existent) in the space available all around the nucleus around which electrons move.

Explanation of orbit

• Shells are another name for them. They are given letters such as K, L, M, N, O, and so on. The formula for calculating the number of electrons in an orbit is given by $2n^2$.
• Electrons can only move around the nucleus at specific distances based on the amount of energy they have.
• They are also called energy levels and have fixed distances between which electrons can orbit.

Hence the fixed paths along which the electrons are revolving around the nucleus are called orbits.
