Here's why:
* Electrons are negatively charged: They are attracted to the positively charged nucleus.
* Quantum mechanics: Electrons don't orbit the nucleus in a classical sense like planets around a star. Instead, they exist in a cloud of probability called an electron cloud, where their exact location is uncertain.
* Constant motion: Electrons are constantly in motion within this electron cloud.
* Random motion: The movement of electrons is not predictable or deterministic. We can only describe the probability of finding an electron at a certain point in space.
