we know that an electron rotates about its own axis.similarly does the electron too rotates about its own axis? and does nucleus and electron vibrate in an atom?
No, we do not know that. The electron posseses spin, i.e. intrinsic angular momentum, but this is not due to rotation. Rotation and vibration are classical concepts that cannot be applied to quantum systems.M.Kalai vanan said:we know that an electron rotates about its own axis.

Nuclear rotation refers to the movement of the nucleus of an atom around its own axis.
Electrons play a crucial role in nuclear rotation as they are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus, creating a magnetic field that interacts with the nucleus and influences its rotation.
Nucleus vibration, or the movement of the nucleus in relation to the electrons, can affect the rotation of the nucleus by changing its moment of inertia and altering the magnetic field created by the electrons.
Several factors can influence nuclear rotation, including the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, the energy levels of the electrons, and the strength of the nuclear force holding the nucleus together.
Understanding nuclear rotation can have various applications, including improving our knowledge of nuclear physics, developing new technologies in nuclear energy, and aiding in the design of medical imaging techniques such as MRI machines.
