Atomic structure. Illustration representing the structure of an atom. Three electrons are shown orbiting the central nucleus along definite paths. This is a schematic 'Bohr model' of an atom. Later theory states that electrons inhabit areas of probability around a nucleus rather than fixed paths such as these. The atomic nucleus (blue) is shown consisting of nucleons (neutrons and protons).
