There is no exact location of the electron. The electron is outside the nucleus orbiting the center of the atom. You can't see it because it rotates so fast and is so small. So we can't indicate the exact location of the electron.

What location in an atom does an electron have?
by the butt of it
What is the location of electrons?
Around the atomic nucleus, on electron shells.
Which is the best analogy describing the location of an electron in an atomic orbital?
The movement of planets around the Sun is the best analogy to describe the location of an electron in an atomic orbital.
Who said that the location and velocity of an electron couldn't be known?
Heisenberg
Where is the location of an electron in an electron cloud?
This great question is one of the questions in physics that led to quantum mechanics. It turns out that the electron's location cannot be determined with precision. It can only be assigned a probablity associated with it being in a given location at a given time. Furthermore, it is a mistake to think that this is because it is just difficult to do. The electron's position truly is only a probability not matter how carefully you try to measure it.
Can the exact location of an electron be known at any time y?
The exact location of an electron can not be known. Electrons' locations can be merely estimated. Electron "clouds" or orbitals are general areas where an electron is likely to be found. There is always uncertainty as to where the electron actually is.

What is each electron's definite energy based on?
The electron's definite energy is based on it's location around the nucleus
Where is the location of an electron outside of the nucleus?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
Is electron location is based on probability?
Yes.
Location and charge of electron?
it is not possible to know the location of an electron but only the regionCharge= -1.60 x 10-19 C; Relative Charge=0
What is the location of electrons?
Around the atomic nucleus, on electron shells.
Which is the best analogy describing the location of an electron in an atomic orbital?
The movement of planets around the Sun is the best analogy to describe the location of an electron in an atomic orbital.
What is the name of the location that surrounds the nucleus?
the electron cloud
What does modern atomic theory say about electron location?
the heisenburg uncertainty priciple says that you cannot know an electron's location and speed at the same time
How do the energy and the most probable location of an electron in the third shell of an atom compare to the energy and the most probable location of an electron in the first shell of the same atom?
in the third shell, an electron has more energy and is further from the nucleus
What is the electrons location?
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. The exact location of a specific electron, however, can not be known for certain. The general area where the electron might be found is in its orbital.
