Do electrons move rapidly in regions of space around the nucleus?

Yes, electrons move very quickly around the nucleus. They move so quickly over such a short distance (atoms are really small) that every electron is considered to be in multiple places at once. All of these places added together make up some type of figure called an orbital. To get an idea, the electron in a hydrogen atom is moving at about 2,200 km/sec. This is so quick that the electron more or less creates a sphere of negative charge around the atom as it moves (if the atom isn't bonding to anything).

What are the two regions of atom?
The atomic nucleus and the cloud of electrons.
Is electrons found inside the nucleus?
They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.
Which parts of the atom move around the nucleous?
Electrons. They have a negative charge.
Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.
Is it possible to stop the electrons revolving around the nucleus?
No, it is not possible to stop the electrons from revolving around the nucleus unless they are stripped off from the nucleus.
Is the particle of an atom that moves rapidly in the cloudlike region around the nucleus?
electrons
What are the regions where electrons usually found?
Electronic cloud, around the nucleus
What are the two regions of atom?
The atomic nucleus and the cloud of electrons.
What is the particle of an atom that moves rapidly in the cloudlike region around the nucleus?
These particles are the electrons, elementary particles with negative electrical charge.
Are the broad bands or regions located around the nucleus where the electrons are found called energy rings?
yes
Regions where electrons are located were?
Electrons are bound inside an electrostatic potential well around the nucleus; ext. energy is needed for the electron to escape.

Electrons. They have a negative charge.
Does electrons make up an atom nucleus?
No, the electrons are around the nucleus, not in the nucleus.
These are regions of space outside the nucleus where electrons travel?
The space outside of the nucleus of an atom where electrons reside is referred to the electron shell or an orbital. According to quantum mechanics theory, electrons do not technically travel, they just exist around the nucleus in something like a shell or a cloud.
Are electrons next to the nucleus?
No, electrons are around nucleus but at a great distance.
