Electrons can not be located in one specific place, but are sort of "spread" over their orbit. When doing an experiment to find their location, there is a certain probability of finding it within a certain unit of volume. The word "cloud" is supposed to conjure an image of this behavior of the electron.

Why are the parts of an atom that electrons occupy called the electron cloud?

What is an electrical discharge between parts of cloud or a cloud and the ground is called?
That's called 'lightning'.
Where are the basic parts found?
Protons and neutrons are found in the center of the atom in a core called the nucleus. Electrons are found in a cloud that continually moves around the nucleus
What is the 2 important parts of an atom?
The nucleus(protons and neutrons) and the electron cloud(electrons).
What are two main parts of the atom?
Two main parts of the atom are the nucleus and the electron cloud. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while the electron cloud contains electrons orbiting around the nucleus.
What is an electrical discharge between parts of a cloud or between a cloud and the ground called?
That's called 'lightning'.
Which parts of an atom occupy the space around the nucleus?
Electrons surround the nucleus. (Or in the case of a hydrogen atom, just one electron.)
Name given to all parts of the atom?
All the components of an atom (neutron, proton, electron) are called subatomic particles or elementary particles.
4 parts of an atom?
All the parts in an atom are proton,neutron,and electron also there is the outer part it is said to be "electron cloud". the proton and neutron are in the small dense nucleus while the electrons float in unpredictable paths around the nucleus in the "electron cloud"
What are the three essential parts of an atom?
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons form the nucleas, surrounded by a cloud of Electrons.
