Direction of revolution of atomic electrons

all says electrons rounds the nucleus and revolves in its own axis if so in which direction electrons rounds the nucleus?

Atoms have orbital angular momentum L. Its direction may give you some idea about how electrons move around the nucleus (with all quantum mechanical caveats about quantization of L).

The direction of revolution of atomic electrons is not fixed or consistent. According to the principles of quantum mechanics, electrons do not orbit the nucleus in a circular path, but rather exist in a cloud of probability around the nucleus. This means that the exact location and direction of an electron's movement cannot be determined. However, it is known that electrons can have a spin, which refers to their intrinsic angular momentum and not their physical rotation. This spin can be either clockwise or counterclockwise, but it is important to note that this does not mean the electron is physically rotating around the nucleus. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that electrons revolve around the nucleus in a specific direction.
