The area where the electron can be found is an orbital cloud. Because of a quirk in quantum physics, it is impossible to determine where an electron is exactly, only where it might be.

Electron cloud.


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.


What makes an atom?

an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.

Is it true that in a an atom electrons travel outside the nucleus?

Yes. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons and is electrially charged. The electrons are in a "cloud" outside the nucleus.
