B
Of the electrons colliding with each other
C
Of screening effects

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

Each electron will not only interact with positively charged nucleus (which provides the central force) but also with the other electrons (i.e. we have to take electron-electron interaction). and hence electron's are not subject to central force.
