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?

The electron cloud is a region of negative charge. However, the electron cloud has varying densities. It follows that this region will have different strengths of negative charge. The position of the strongest charge is the 'dot point' of an electron

How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
What is a non example of an electron cloud?
orbital is a region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found. ... The electron cloud is a visual model that represents all the orbitals in an atom.
What is the region around the nucleus where electrons are found?
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.
Is the electron cloud bigger than an atom?
Oh yes. Think of the atom as earth and an electron as the moon.
Which of an electrons are involved in chemical reactions?
They have a negative charged. They are found in the electron cloud in an atom.
What is found in an electon cloud of an atom?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud (or orbitals) around the nucleus of an atom
Which particle of an atom is in a cloud space?
We understand that the electron is the particle that is found in what is called the electron cloud around the nucleus of an atom.
Where could an electron be found in a atom?
In an electron cloud, which a probability range circling around the atom. Due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, both an electron's location and speed can not be known at the same time. Therefore, a range is created.
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.
Where is most of an atom's empty space found?
electron cloud
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud found in a atomic structure?
The nucleus is found at the center of the atom and the electron cloud is found orbiting the nucleus at fixed, quantified radii.
According to atomic theory electrons are usually found?
in the energy levels. energy levels are in the electron cloud.
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
What is a example of a electron cloud?
orbital is a region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found. ... The electron cloud is a visual model that represents all the orbitals in an atom.
Which subatomic particle can be found in the area outside the nucleus of an atom?
The three subatomic particles are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus in the electron cloud.
What is the charge of an electron and were is it located in an atom?
The charge on an electron is negative (it's -1), and electrons in an atom are found in orbitals (or Fermi energy levels) in the electron cloud far from the nucleus.
What is a non example of an electron cloud?
orbital is a region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found. ... The electron cloud is a visual model that represents all the orbitals in an atom.
