In the original model, electrons were describe as sticking in the nucleus, sort of like a plum pudding. Later, electrons were described as having fixed orbits of varying potential energy within the atom. Today, using quantum mechanics, electrons are described as having various potentials that describe their energy within the atom, but they do not have fixed orbits. They have quantum states instead, sort of a quantum cloud, with random positions, and some theories describe quantum states as being parallel existences in time/space.
Electrons are located in orbitals surrounding the nucleus of an atom. These orbitals are regions of space where electrons are likely to be found based on their energy levels. The arrangement of electrons in orbitals determines the chemical properties of the atom.
It is not defined and can never be known with precision, only by a probability that it will be somewhere in a 'fuzzy' electron shell surrounding the nucleus.
Electrons exist around the nucleus in regions known as energy levels.
I can be determined precisely
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
The main subatomic particles located in an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus.
The areas in which electrons are located in an atom are called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by numbers (such as n = 1, 2, 3, etc.) and each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on its energy level.
Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom. They occupy specific energy levels known as electron shells or orbitals.
The nucleus of an atom is made of neutrons and protons. Electrons move around the outside of the nucleus. The number of electrons around an atoms nucleus compared to the number of protons in the nucleus determines the charge of an atom, and the charge of an atom effects the way that an atom reacts with other atoms.
valence electrons are the electrons located in the outer shell of an atom which are available for reaction

Electrons are located out side the nucleus in atom, and these are called as extra nuclear particles. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus as planets do round the sun

Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons in atoms.
the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom the electrons are located in the outer orbits
The electrons that are used to form bonds are located in the outermost energy level of an atom, known as the valence shell. These electrons are involved in bonding with other atoms to stabilize the atom and form molecules.
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
