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.

How many atoms have in atomic mass number?

The atomic mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It does not include the number of electrons, which are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.


Is the s orbital of an atom spherical?

Yes, the s orbital of an atom is spherical in shape. It has a uniform electron density distribution around the nucleus, meaning that the probability of finding an electron at a given distance from the nucleus is the same in all directions. This spherical symmetry is characteristic of all s orbitals, regardless of the energy level.

What is the electron cloud called?

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.
