How electron revolves around orbitals? Is the velocity uniform or accelerated?
The electron is attracted to the positively charged nucleus due to electromagnetic forces. This attraction causes the electron to continuously move around the nucleus in a circular or elliptical path.
The speed of an electron's motion around the nucleus can vary, but on average, it travels at a speed of approximately 2,200 kilometers per second.
Yes, the behavior of an electron can be predicted using quantum mechanics. However, it is impossible to know the exact position and velocity of an electron at any given time, due to the uncertainty principle.
The size of an electron's orbit is determined by its energy level. Electrons with higher energy levels have larger orbits, while electrons with lower energy levels have smaller orbits.
Yes, an electron's orbit can change. It can gain or lose energy and move to a higher or lower energy level, resulting in a larger or smaller orbit around the nucleus.
