Yes the paths make the atom easier to read than having to draw electrons all over the atom model
Valency electrons are free electrons that are not attracted to other atoms. Valency electrons most often occur in a vacuum where they are not attracted to atoms (the reason thermionic devices are vacuumed) so yes, electron clouds can occur, very rarely in our atmosphere in the form of corona discharge from high voltage devices and more commonly in the vacuum of space as a glob of ionic turbulence
In a molecule, electrons are not evenly distributed; they are typically found around the atomic nuclei in specific regions called electron clouds. These electron clouds are influenced by the presence of other atoms and their nuclei within the molecule, leading to areas of higher and lower electron density. This uneven distribution of electrons forms the basis of chemical bonding and reactivity in molecules.
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.
Around the atomic nucleus, on electron shells.
Proton and neutron.

Electrons are found in the shells and clouds.
i have no idea when it was discovered
electrons are found in the electron clouds while protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus
Electrons are found in electron clouds, which are ouside of the nucleus.
Neutrons and electrons are found in the nucleus of an atom; electrons are outside the nucleus in "electron clouds".
An electron cloud is made of electrons, which are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom in a probabilistic manner, forming a region of space where an electron is likely to be found.

They are found in electron clouds around the nucleus.
The electron cloud contains electrons, which are negatively charged particles that orbit the atomic nucleus. The cloud also contains other subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons in the nucleus, which contribute to the overall structure of an atom.
Electrons do not orbit around the nucleus like planets around the sun. Instead, they exist in electron clouds around the nucleus, depicted as a probability distribution of where an electron is likely to be found.
The question probably refers to 'the modern theory of electron clouds'. This theory is now almost a century old and is called quantum mechanics. It describes the states of electrons in an atom as 'electron clouds', so-called orbitals, which indicate the probability distribution of the electron wave function. In contrast to a naive classical picture that pictures electrons as point-like particles with given velocity and position, the quantum mechanical picture describes electrons as smeared-out matter waves following the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
