The principle shells such as (K,L,M,N) are called energy shells because they carry energies. If electrons carry certain amount of energy then while orbiting they would loose energy and tend to the nucleus and have a collision with it(according to the general electrodynamics). But the atom is stable. Why? I read my book but it says all the things that I mentioned in the question. How does the electron make the atom stable while orbiting through energized shells (principle shells)and having energies of its own(1.6*10^-19 C)? | |

| Apr 17, 2013 at 10:18 | comment | added | kaliaden | Welcome to Chemistry SE. Your question is not very clear. Why do you think electrons don't have energy while orbiting? Also, the energy of an electron is not always constant (it depends on which shell the electron is present in) and it is certainly not $4.8\times10^{-10}esu$. esu is a unit of electric charge so what you have written is the charge on an electron (which is constant - $1.6\times10^{-19}C$ in SI units). | |
