• An atom holds the nucleus at the centre.
• Negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus. • The atoms in it contains distinct orbits of electrons
• Electrons do not radiate energy when they are in their orbits.
• The distinct orbits are named as K, L, M, N orbits. Numbers used to denote them are n=1, 2, 3, 4
