Can Newton's laws of motion explain the movement of electrons in atoms? If possible, can someone explain how?

(I tried to think along the line of perhaps centrifugal/petal forces, but they don't orbit (according to bohr's incorrect model) in one single plane, do they? So im really lost. Help please)

Hint: A concise + short explanation and links will give u 10 points=)

Yes it sort-of works for a hydrogen atom.
You do need to know about electric field attraction.

the attraction of charges pulls the electron in, the angular motion holds it from being pulled all the way.

Although this model (planetary model) is wrong, it is amazing how close it comes considering that it is so far from what we believe to be true!!

Electrons do not "orbit" they move sporadically and without precision. The only way an electron's path can be "determined" is by probability. This is where S,P,D,F. and VESPER theory come into play. These clouds of density predict where the electron in an atom is/will be.

You must look to quantum physics for sub-atomic particle/wave behavior.

No. Newtons laws dont apply.

actually electrons don't orbit.infact they don't at all have orbits.it is all for theoretical learning that we always assume they have orbits .(this is what my chemistry mam told)
