Electrons are most likely to be found in the electron cloud surrounding the atomic nucleus.
Electron orbitals.
An atomic orbital is a region in an atom in which there is a high probability of finding electrons.
The electrons occupy the electron cloud. It is not a cloud at all; it is simply a region where electrons are most likely to be found.
Electrons can be found in regions of space around the nucleus called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by the principal quantum number, with the first shell closest to the nucleus and subsequent shells further away. Within each shell, electrons occupy specific orbitals, which are specific regions where electrons are most likely to be found.
They live in conditions similar to those likely to be found on other planets.
no, the electrons orbit the nuclei .
J.J Thompson
That was Niels Bohr

Orbiting the atom.
This scientist is Robert Millikan (1868-1953).
Electrons are most likely to be found within certain regions around the nucleus.
According to scientist Rutherford, in the core of an atom is a positively charged nucleus and the nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
energy levels
Electron orbitals.
British scientist Sir Joseph J. Thomson discovered in 1897 that cathode rays were made up of what are now known as electrons.
The Bohr atom imagined that electrons orbit the nucleus in much the same way that planets orbit the sun. The modern atomic model has electrons in the form of a cloud that surrounds the nucleus without actually moving in orbit around it. Moving electrons would have to emit photons, lose energy, and spiral into the nucleus, thus destroying the atom. They don't really orbit.
