Yes the paths make the atom easier to read than having to draw electrons all over the atom model
Electrons were found to be located in electron clouds, rather than fixed paths, by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926. This discovery was a key development in the quantum mechanical model of the atom.
The term "orbital" was coined by Robert Mulliken in 1932.

Electron clouds contain a probability distribution of the locations of electrons around the nucleus of an atom. Electrons within the cloud have different energy levels and are constantly moving, giving rise to the concept of electron orbitals. The electron cloud represents the region where electrons are likely to be found, rather than a distinct boundary.
In a molecule, electrons are not evenly distributed; they are typically found around the atomic nuclei in specific regions called electron clouds. These electron clouds are influenced by the presence of other atoms and their nuclei within the molecule, leading to areas of higher and lower electron density. This uneven distribution of electrons forms the basis of chemical bonding and reactivity in molecules.
Not exactly. An electron is an actual physical particle with a negative charge. An electron cloud is (generally) a spherical area around the nucleus of an atom that predicts where the electrons might be located.
Electrons are located in electron clouds surrounding the nucleus of an atom. They occupy various energy levels or orbitals that determine their distance from the nucleus.

Electrons are found in the shells and clouds.
Electrons are the particles found in electron clouds.
An electron cloud is made of electrons, which are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom in a probabilistic manner, forming a region of space where an electron is likely to be found.
i have no idea when it was discovered
electrons are found in the electron clouds while protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus
Electrons are found in electron clouds, which are ouside of the nucleus.
Neutrons and electrons are found in the nucleus of an atom; electrons are outside the nucleus in "electron clouds".
They are found in electron clouds around the nucleus.

J.J. Thomson discovered that the electron has a very small mass compared to the size of the atom through his experiments with cathode rays in the late 19th century. His work led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom.
The question probably refers to 'the modern theory of electron clouds'. This theory is now almost a century old and is called quantum mechanics. It describes the states of electrons in an atom as 'electron clouds', so-called orbitals, which indicate the probability distribution of the electron wave function. In contrast to a naive classical picture that pictures electrons as point-like particles with given velocity and position, the quantum mechanical picture describes electrons as smeared-out matter waves following the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
