probability
Electrons in an atom per quantum mechanics do not "orbit" about the nucleus. They are found in a cloud about the nucleus which is called an atomic orbital. The "density" of the cloud being the likelihood that the electron might be found in that location. If I've got this figured out; I'm sure I've messed something up here! When you add energy to the electron, it doesn't jump to another orbit, the orbital changes. It has been experimentally shown that the electron can sometimes found inside of the nucleus. One would intuitively think that the electron would be absorbed into a proton becoming a neutron. Quantum weirdness... Jim1138 (talk) 07:20, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
