A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital. A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy an orbital.
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
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.
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.
Electron. Electrons are all outside the nucleus which conatins protons and neutrons.
The negatively charged particle found surrounding the nucleus is the electron. Electrons are much smaller and lighter than protons and neutrons, and they orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels. They play a crucial role in chemical bonding and determining the chemical properties of an atom.
In the ground state of a hydrogen atom, the electron is most likely found in a spherical region surrounding the nucleus, described by the 1s orbital. This region is characterized by a high probability density near the nucleus, gradually decreasing as the distance from the nucleus increases. An illustration representing this would typically show a spherical shape, with the highest density at the center, indicating where the electron is most likely to be located.
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.

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.

An s orbital is spherical in shape, with a high probability of finding the electron closer to the nucleus.
