Explanation:

There is really no similarity between a gravitationally bound system of orbiting bodies, and atomic structure. Electrons are bound to atoms by the electromagnetic force, and the electrons have rules imposed on them which make little or no sense when considering the solar system scale. Electrons stay in “shells” according to the — Pauli Exclusion Principle

— which dictates how many electrons can occupy each “subshell”. The size (supposed diameters) of the shells is dictated by the wave properties of the electrons, where electrons in the shells appear to have fixed frequencies according to the subshell they occupy, but their wavelength can be increased by their capturing the energy of photons or emitting energy in the form of photons. Their switching from one energy state to another within a shell is instantateous, there is no transitional “travel” from one energy level to another.

Physicists have worked on this for 100+ years, and their primary conclusion is that’s how it is! It has no relationship to anything we experience at the macro level. Don’t try to relate it to a planetary system, that simply confuses you.

Comparably confusing is the configuration of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. It seems rational to propose that, when one takes two blue marbles (neutrons) and two red marbles (protons) and glues them together, voila suddenly we get a structure with just a single path around it which passes over both protons (Helium). Add eight more neutrons and eight more protons keeping all the protons as far from each other as possible (Neon) and we have a complete sphere with 3 more paths around it each passing over 2 protons. It seems logical that the same rule applies further out. HOWEVER, I once called up my physics professor from U of T to discuss this and all I got was an abrupt

please mark me as brainliest
