Are the components of the Atoms revolving , turning on themselves ,spinning , or hopping arround ?

Question

add= also oscillating and shaking?

Answer 1

unfortunately jay b's answer is based on a high school level of understanding physics and chemistry. Orbitals are only a convenient explanation and useful for calculations, but they don't represent phenomenon in the real world at all.

In the nucleus, items aren't THAT small. protons and neutrons have easily discernable mass and therefore the nucleus is pretty stationary (relative to the electrons, that is)

electrons are point particles, but only when you measure them to find out where they are. when you don't measure an electron, it doesnt exactly exist... .er, it exists, but does so in all places within a given area at all times. the probably of it locating itself within a specific area can be calculated as a function of time for that area by integrating probabilities in that space. the ramifications of this are amazing, electrons of any given energy occupy different areas, but even though they are point particles, they exist in different places at the same time until you measure them. at that point the electron "collapses" in on itself and becomes a point particle, essentially, the electron creates itself just so you can look at it, then when you stop looking it goes back to existing only as a probability function again.

The probability function for this has alot in common with the wave properties of electrons in motion. good research would be to look up shroedinger's cat and/or the two slit electron experiment.

Answer 2

First of all, the components of atoms are electron, nuetron and proton. proton(positive charge) and nuetron(no charge) together in the centre of the atom are collectively called the nucleus, elctrons which a negatively charged are arranged around the nucleus in orbits. when the electrons in the orbits are excited as in when they are heated, they start vibrating on their own position and produce kinetic energy. so we can say that the nucleus remains stationary but the electrons are always vibrating.
