The question is flawed. Electrons don't "move around the nucleus," and it's pointless asking why something that doesn't happen happens.

Mathematically speaking, they're "standing waves," or at least they obey the equations for a standing wave.

What is the space called where the electrons move around the nucleus?

The space in which electrons move around the nucleus is called the electron cloud or electron shell. It represents the region where electrons are most likely to be found within an atom.


Do electrons move slow or fast around the nucleus?

Electrons move fast around the nucleus at speeds close to the speed of light. The exact speed of an electron is determined by its energy level and its distance from the nucleus.


What particles form a cloud around the nucleus an atom?

Electrons form a cloud around the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative charge and move rapidly in a probability distribution around the nucleus, representing the electron cloud or electron cloud model of an atom.


What moves around the nucleus of an atom?

Electrons, which are a type of fermion, orbit the nucleus of atoms. Remember, though, that they do not actually orbit or "move around" the nucleus, but instead are in a superposition of states, which we usually describe as an electron density, or the probability of locating an electron at a certain distance and time.


The region of space where electrons of a certain energy move about the nucleus of an atom?

The region of space where electrons of a certain energy move about the nucleus of an atom is called an electron orbital. Electron orbitals are regions where there is a high probability of finding an electron based on its energy level. Different electron orbitals have different shapes and orientations.
