The nucleus and the electron both revolve around a common center of charge. The only atom with equal charge in both places is hydrogen. Every atom heavier than hydrogen has more charge in the nucleus than there is on an electron. By the time you get to uranium, there is more than 90 times as much charge in the nucleus as there is on an electron, so the common center of charge is many times farther from each electron than it is from the nucleus. Also, each nuclear particle ... each proton and neutron ... is almost 2000 times more massive than an electron, and the same argument applies to the center of mass in the case of orbits governed by gravitational force, such as the solar system. But in the atom, the electrical forces completely dominate over the gravitational forces (by something like 1040.)

What does an electron-cloud model show?

The term "electron cloud" was coined by an American physicist named Richard Feynman. The electron cloud model is a visual representation of the possible locations of electrons in an atom. It is known that electrons are found on orbitals around the nucleus and this model visually allows us to picture the probable locations of the electrons around the nucleus.
