Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which atomic model proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths?
  • Step 1: Understand that an atomic model is a way to describe how atoms are structured.
  • Step 2: Learn that the nucleus is the center of the atom, containing protons and neutrons.
  • Step 3: Know that electrons are tiny particles that orbit around the nucleus.
  • Step 4: Identify that there are different models of the atom proposed by scientists over time.
  • Step 5: Recognize that Bohr's model is one specific atomic model.
  • Step 6: Remember that Bohr's model states that electrons move in fixed paths or orbits around the nucleus.
  • Step 7: Understand that these orbits have specific energy levels, meaning electrons can only exist in certain paths.
