minus-squareSemjeza@fedinsfw.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·18 days agoTo add for others, electrons orbiting is a convenient assumption - really they’re more a delocalised cloud of negative charge that exists in various bits of space known as “orbitals”. Not orbiting in the way we’d understand it from planets.
