-Theory is that Electrons orbit
the nucleus in orbits that have
specific size and energy.
-The size of the orbit impacts its
energy. The smallest orbit has
the lowest energy

energy, they shift between the

-The area of negative

move around the nucleus in
orbits but in a cloud.

SOMMERFELD

-In his theory, he said that

electrons were found in
circular orbits which had
different levels of energy
all around the nucleus.
- He exclaimed that electrons
could vary energy levels
depending on the energy of
