Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the basic structure of an atom, which consists of a nucleus and electrons surrounding it.
Understand that the nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are generally considered to be fixed in place within the nucleus.
Recognize that electrons are the subatomic particles that move around the nucleus in various energy levels or orbitals.
In the simplified atomic model, electrons are depicted as constantly moving around the nucleus, while protons and neutrons remain stationary inside the nucleus.
Therefore, the subatomic particles in constant motion around the nucleus are the electrons.
