Question
- according to the bohr model of the atom, where are the electrons found?
randomly scattered throughout the atom.
in a \cloud\ around the nucleus.
within the nucleus itself.
in specific, fixed orbits or energy levels around the nucleus.
clear all
The Bohr model of the atom proposes that electrons occupy specific, fixed orbits (energy levels) around the nucleus. The first option describes the Thomson model's "plum pudding" idea. The "cloud" is from the quantum mechanical model. Electrons are not in the nucleus (protons/neutrons are there). So the correct choice is the one about specific, fixed orbits.
