What is the charge of the electron cloud in chlorine-37?

This isotope of chlorine has 17 electrons; the atom is neutral.


What is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud?

The electron configuration of an atom is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom. This is an indication of the different orbitals that are occupied by electrons in the atom.


What is the region around the nucleus where electrons are found?

The electron cloud. An electron cloud is a volume or region in the atom where it is likely to find or detect an electron. It is actually really hard to detect an electron because an atom is mostly empty space, electrons are orbiting the nucleus at almost the speed of light so they orbit really fast, the electrons are very tiny and may be point like since we don't really know the volume or size of the electron, and an atom in reality is 3 dimensional which the electron cloud and orbitals is 3 dimensional. Since electrons are so hard to detect then they would call this volume or region of the atom an electron cloud because the electron cloud is a volume or region where they know that electrons are likely to be there even if they are hard to find. Or maybe the electron cloud is where they can also know the different sub- orbitals or subshells of the electrons.


What is the outer most part of a atom?

Electron Cloud


The volume of an atom is determined by the size of its?

It can be determined by the size of it's electron. The reason for this being is because of the mass that is calculated by the protons to the neutrons of the atoms within the nucleus.

What is the region of electrons?

The electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud.


What charge does the electron cloud of every atom have?

In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.


Why does a chloride ion have a larger radius than a chlorine atom?

chlorine ion has one more electron than the chlorine atom, thus the pull of the electrons to the protons in the nucleus is less because of the extra electron allowing the electron cloud to relax a tiny bit


Where electrons located?

in the electron cloud of an atom.


What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?

The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.


How can you use electron cloud in a sentence?

"The electron cloud is the space in the atom where the electrons orbit the nucleus."

What do you call the region of an atom in which electrons move?

The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.


What is the charge on the cloud or shell of the atom?

The charge of an electron cloud is negative. The electron cloud is made up of electrons, and the electrons are negatively charged. The electron cloud will have a negative charge as well.


The cloud around an atom's nucleus contains tiny what?

electrons. (electron cloud)


Where are the electron on a chlorine atom?

Outside the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) in a "cloud".
