The nucleus of an atom is composed of proton(s) and neutron(s). The electron(s) will not be found within the nucleus but through quantum theory its orbital locations within certainty can be determined.
According to quantum theory, we can never know the exact location of an electron at any given time. If the electron is part of an atom, the best we can do is state the probability that the electron can be found within a given region about the nucleus. Often that information is good enough for our purposes.
In an electron cloud, which a probability range circling around the atom. Due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, both an electron's location and speed can not be known at the same time. Therefore, a range is created.
Yes and no. Electrons are negatively charged, but the are not found within the nucleus.
Electrons.

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. The exact location of a specific electron, however, can not be known for certain. The general area where the electron might be found is in its orbital.
An electron's exact position cannot be pinpointed.
There is no exact location of the electron. The electron is outside the nucleus orbiting the center of the atom. You can't see it because it rotates so fast and is so small. So we can't indicate the exact location of the electron.

Around the atomic nucleus, on electron shells.
It is called an electron shell.
The electrons are found in the electron shells
Inside the atom, revolving around the nucleus
Yes and no. Electrons are negatively charged, but the are not found within the nucleus.
