The Electron Cloud
Electrons. They have a negative charge.
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in patterns called electron shells.
They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.
The quantum mechanics model of the atom indicates that electrons orbit the atomic nucleus in an electron cloud. Electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels within the electron cloud.
electron cloud
Neutrons and protons are placed in the atomic nucleus; electrons move surrounding this nucleus in clouds of electrons.
The region surrounding the nucleus in which electrons with certain energy move is called the orbital. It refers to a bit of space where there is a 95% chance of finding an electron.

Electrons do not move fast.
Electrons move around the atomic nucleus.
Electrons spin around the nucleus, like the earth orbits the sun
