"Electron cloud" is the name given to the electrons which surrounds the atomic nucleus.


Why does the atomic radius change as electrons are added to a shell?

This is because of the fact atomic radius is the distance of the outermost electron to the nucleus thus as more electrons are added the distance increase (which cause atomic radius to change)

Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
