I have a most general Q about electron? Can any tell me that in what direction electron revolve around the nucleus? Clockwise or anticlockwise?

Question

They form an almost incorporeal cloud around the nucleus, thereby refraining from having any specific direction, though the common belief that they follow paths around the core much like planets may hinder the clarity of this fact.

anonymous · Answer

Like Sinthius said, they don't actually travel in rings or circles around the nucleus.  The so-called planetary model is misleading in this respect.

Because of quantum mechanics, their position can only be represented with a probability of being in a particular position.  So we are able to determine a probability cloud that shows their likely positions, but we can't assign them an exact location, speed, direction, etc.

Also, the terms 'clockwise' and 'anti-clockwise' are difficult to apply to nuclei, since they're 3-dimensional. Even if they did revolve in rings, they would look clockwise from one direction, but anti-clockwise from the other direction.

One could discern which way they are spinning by applying a magnetic field, but this would only tell you which way they spin with respect to that applied magnetic field which can be in any direction in space.

Well everything comes from all your side is correct but i think it is anticlockwise. can anyone prove that its not?
