Solution

The concept that electrons orbit the nucleus was suggested by Niels Bohr in 1913. He proposed the Bohr Model, where electrons move in fixed orbitals (or clearly defined paths) around the nucleus, much like planets orbit around the sun. This model helped to explain how atoms interact with light and paved the way for the development of quantum mechanics.
