The atomic nucleus and the cloud of electrons.
An atom is containing of electrons, protons, neutrons and other sub atomic particles. Normally the two major regions that comprise the view of the modern atom are nucleus and the electron cloud. The electrons are moving in the electron shell and the nucleus provide space for protons, neutrons, and sub atomic particles.
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.
Nucleus and electrons
Yes, this is the nucleus. It is composed of a number of protons and neutrons (except Hydrogen, which has 1 proton and zero neutrons). Both protons and neutrons have about the same mass (which is much more massive relative to the electron). A proton has a positive electric charge, and a neutron does not have an electric charge.

proton in nucleas, electron in regions of most probable location
Electrons are the negatively charged particles on the outside of an atom-- they orbit the protons/neutrons forming a cloud of electrons because they move so fastNiels Bohr proposed that every atom possesses an orbiting cloud of tiny subatomic particles electrons- around coreAt center, small dense nucleus made of protons and neutronsjhfjp'ds' s s'rElectronsOrbitals- regions that lie at varying distances around nucleus where the electrons areNeutral atoms- atoms with same number of protons and electrons = neutral, no net chargeMaintain orbitals from attraction to positive but can gain/lose electronsIons- atoms in which the number of electrons does not equal number of protons --> chargedCation- more protons than electrons= positive chargeAnion- fewer protons than electrons= negative charge
In general, the nucleus and the electron cloud are the two distinct features of the volume of the atom. The nucleus is home to the proton(s) and whatever neutrons are present, and the electron cloud is where the electrons all hang out. The nucleus, with its protons and neutrons, has most of an atom's mass concentrated there. The electrons are relatively far away, and the orbits they describe give the atom its "shape" by defining its volume in space.

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.
Electrons are most likely to be found within certain regions around the nucleus.
Solar Radiation --answer-- Solar radiation - consisting mainly of electrons and protons and other particles - interacts wit the Earth's magnetic field, generally in the polar regions (north and south) where the field is strongest.
http://www.answers.com/topic/atomic-orbital Atomic orbitals are cloud like structures around the nucleus of an atom that contain the atoms electrons. There are s, p, d, and f orbitals. S contain up to 2 electrons, P contain up to 6 electrons, d contain up to 10 electrons, and f contain up to 14 electrons. These orbitals have electrons containing different amounts of energy, and it is possible for electrons to jump to and from different orbitals. When this happen energy either needs to be added or released. The number of orbitals present in an atom is completely dependent on the number of electrons present in the atom.
