What type of charge does the cloud surrounding the nucleus possess?

It isn't a physical cloud, it is the area electrons orbits are found in.
While this is true, it is actually called an "electron cloud" because the electrons that spin around the nucleus are spinning around it so fast.

What is the charge of an electron and were is it located in an atom?
The charge on an electron is negative (it's -1), and electrons in an atom are found in orbitals (or Fermi energy levels) in the electron cloud far from the nucleus.
Neutrons are negatively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom?
Yes and no. Electrons are negatively charged, but the are not found within the nucleus.
What are the three pieces to an atom?
Proton = positive charge Neutron = neutral charge Electron = negative charge Please note that the basic parts of an atom do not include only the protons, neutrons and electrons. The basic parts are the nucleus and electron cloud. the protons and neutrons are essentially in the nucleus and the electrons are in the cloud surrounding the nucleus
What charge does the electron cloud of every atom have?
In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.
What describes and atom?
A negatively charged electron cloud surrounding a positively charged nucleus. Reason: The nucleus contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. The positive nucleus is surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud.
What and where is the charge in an atom?
Protons in the nucleus each have a positive charge, and electrons, surrounding the nucleus in the electron cloud, have a negative charge.
The is the particle in the nucleus with a positive charge?
The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains both protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. The electrons, which have a negative charge are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
What is the charge of an electron and were is it located in an atom?
The charge on an electron is negative (it's -1), and electrons in an atom are found in orbitals (or Fermi energy levels) in the electron cloud far from the nucleus.
What are the charges of the three subatomic particles and where are they located?
Protons have a charge of +1 and are in the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a charge of 0 and are also in the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a charge of -1 and are found outside of the nucleus, in the electron cloud.
Neutrons are negatively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom?
Yes and no. Electrons are negatively charged, but the are not found within the nucleus.
What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.
Atom are composed of at least three particlies called?
The atom is made up of a nucleus and an electron cloud. The nucleus contain protons (positive particles, p+) and neutrons (particles of no charge, n0). The electron cloud is made up of orbiting electron which possess a negative charge (e-).
What charge is a nucleus?
neutral
Electrons are located in a cloud surrounding what part of the atom?
Nucleus.
Region surrounding the nucleus in which the electrons move about?
electron cloud
What is the area surrounding nucleus of atom called?
Electron Cloud
Where is a electron located?
They are located in the electron cloud of an atom. ---------- Electrons (very low mass particles with negative electrical charge) are placed around the nucleus of an atom in electron shells, with different energy levels; because the nucleus contain protons the electrical charge is positive. The electron cloud is a model of quantum mechanics.
