It is electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom. They are held in place by the electromagnetic force between them and the protons in the nucleus. The electrons are negatively charged, and they are attracted to the positively charged protons. The electrons form energy levels or orbitals in which they will move to make up what is called the electron cloud. As the electrons repel each other, they will find ways to remain in orbit but avoid each other while doing so. This gives rise to the energy levels or orbitals.

∙ 10y agoElectrons are orbiting around the nucleus of the atom in specific energy orbits (sometimes called electron cloud). However, an electron from the nearest orbit to the nucleus may be captured by the radioactive (or unstable) nucleus and got unified with a proton to form a neutron and hence changing the ratio of protons/neutrons through the nulceus tendency towards stability..
