the electrons just bounce around the electron clouds freely. think about 2 spheres, a small one suspended inside a bigger one. the smaller one is the nucleus, and the big one is the cloud. the electrons just bounce around in the space between the nucleus and the cloud

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?


What is the region around the nucleus where electrons are?

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.

How is the electron cloud related to the modern model of an atom?

The atom where we are most likely to find an electron. this area is called the electron cloud.


Where in an atom would you find an electron?

The electrons in an atom swarm in a cloud around the small nucleus, which is made up of neutrons and protons.


Where in the atom would you find the three main sub-atomic particles?

Proton - Nucleus Neutron - Nucleus Electron - Shell/Cloud/Orbit


Which component of an atom would you not expect to find in the nucleus?

Electron. Electrons are all outside the nucleus which conatins protons and neutrons.


What clouds are inside a tornado?

The only cloud you will actually find inside a tornado is the condensation funnel. Other clouds, such as the wall cloud and cumulonimbus are outside the tornado itself.


How many electron clouds in sodium?

It has 11 electrons total. These are in 3 shells.


How many electron cloud does chlorine have?

This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.


Where can you find electrons in a atom?

Electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels or orbitals. They are negatively charged subatomic particles that contribute to the overall charge and behavior of the atom.
