What is an electron cloud shaped liked?
The shape of an electron cloud depends on the energy sublevel. Each electron cloud is different, so there is no definitive shape.
Does the electron cloud contain proton's or neutrons or electrons?
This question doesn't technically have an answer. The electron cloud simply surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. Each atom of different elements has a different number of protons. It is not determined by the electron cloud. An electron cloud doesn't have a nucleus as the question implies either. An electron cloud odes not contain protons either. Just electrons, as the name suggests.
Why noble gases are related to each other?
They all have a full valence electron cloud, which causes them to be nonreactive.
What particles are found in each main part of the atom?
Protons and neutrons are found in the atom's nucleus. Electrons are found somewhere outside of the nucleus in shells of probability, called the electron cloud.
Why does the separation of an electron from the neutral atom require more enery than the separation of an electron from the anion?
An explanation is via the electron cloud. In a neutral atom, equal number of electrons and protons means a stable separation of electrons from the nucleus and each electron is repulsed by the adjacent electrons at a stable distance. When one electron is removed forming an anion, the electron cloud will move closer to the nucleus because of lower electron repulsion (fewer competitors), and each electron is held more strongly by the protons. Since the force of attraction of proton-electron is stronger than before, removing the second electron will require even more energy than removing the first electron. ==========================

What is the area surrounding the atom where electrons are located?
Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.
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 are two general characteristics that define each cloud type?
Each cloud type forms at a relative specific altitude and has a characteristic shape.
What is found in the electron cloud of an atom?
I think the word you're looking for is "electron cloud". That term already describes where electrons are found. It would be kind of silly to define "electron cloud" in such a way that it describes an area where electrons are not found, wouldn't it?
How many electrons are there in each electron cloud for neon?
How am i supposed 2 no? im the 1 who asked the question!
What is the maximum number of electrons in each of the first three energy level list separately?
is the electron cloud

Protons and neutrons are found in the atom's nucleus. Electrons are found somewhere outside of the nucleus in shells of probability, called the electron cloud.
Which term refers to the region of an atom where an electron is most likely to be found?
That would be the electron cloud. This is like the orbital model where there are electrons in each orbit level but the electron's location can not be predicted so it is said to be most likely at a point in the electron cloud.
In the electron cloud model if you begin at the electron shell closest to the nucleus of an atom and move out what is the number of electrons that each energy level or electron shell needs to fil?
