Determine which statement is true. A) Electrons travel around the nucleus in circular orbits. B) The Bohr atom is the model curr
ently accepted for electrons in atoms. C) An electron's position and energy (momentum) can be know with certainty simultaneously. D) Currently, scientists know the energies of electrons but only approximate areas (orbitals) where the electrons are probably located.
Electrons travel around the nucleus in circular orbits and moves from one orbit to another orbit when they absorb energy or lose energy. The Bohr atom is the model currently accepted for electrons in atoms because this model provides the right information about presence of electrons around the orbits. Scientists know the energies of electrons as well as the areas (orbitals) where the electrons are probably located with the help of new technology.
Answer: Observation is essential in science. Scientists use observation to collect and record data, which enables them to construct and then test theories
