Best Answer

Electrons are found orbiting the nucleus of an atom. The reason they orbit is because the nucleus is positively charged, consisting of protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). Of course, different charges attract. So the electrons (negative) are attracted to the positively charged nucleus, but are moving so fast that their momentum exactly cancels out the attraction to the nucleus. If the electrons were orbiting any faster, they would fly out of the atom. If they were orbiting any slower, they would eventually become part of the nucleus.

Electrons are distributed in a cloud around atoms. They can also be emitted in electromagnetic radiation. Their interactions determine how atoms and molecules react

Basically:
An Atom is made out of many shells (rings) circling a nucleus in the middle, the Electrons are on these rings and the Protons and Nuetrons are in the nucleus
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They can be forced from atoms with energy and then used in electronics such in an 'electron beam' in vacuum tube and cathode ray tubes (Computer Monitors and television screens, for example)
At least on Earth, most electrons are bound to atoms. However, it is also possible to find free electrons.

where are electrons found

Electrons are found in the electron cloud that orbits the Protons and Neutrons. It is what gives Nucli their electrical properties

In atoms. More specifically, they orbit the nucleus of an atom, in the aptly name electron cloud.

Or electron shell.
