According to the planetary model of an isolated atom, the nucleus that con[size=9.96001pt]tains protons and neutrons constitutes most of the mass of the atom. Electrons! ]$ Z" U# _: {5 p8 D$ B$ S
surround the nucleus in specific orbits. The electrons are negatively charged[size=9.96001pt]and the nucleus is positively charged. If an electron absorbs energy (in the- O3 _4 \4 ^ Q2 o
form of a photon), it moves to orbits further from the nucleus. An electron[size=9.96001pt]transition from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit emits a photon for% G7 @, X4 L- e; n7 x

The energy levels of the outer electrons form energy bands. In insulators, the[size=9.96001pt]lower energy band (valence band) is completely filled and the next energy3 @% y! g( m$ E& I2 z
band (conduction band) is completely empty. The valence and conduction[size=9.96001pt]bands are separated by a forbidden energy gap.
