The cloud around an atom's nucleus is called an electron cloud. An electromagnetic force binds electrons inside an electrostatic potential well, which surrounds the nucleus.

A release of electricity from cloud is called?
Lightning
Occurs when excess electrons flow between a cloud and the ground?
lightning
Why the cathode in cathode ray tube is indirectly heated by the filament?
To create an electron cloud that can be shaped into a beam.
How do you describe lightning?
Lightning is the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of a very short duration and a very high voltage between a cloud and the ground.
What is static electricity and how does it work?
This is just a charge that accumulates on something that is isolated from ground. Under some circumstances a charge may build up on your body and then you touch something that is grounded and you get a shock. This is the static electricity flowing to ground.
How are an atoms nucleus and its electron cloud different?
An atoms nucleus contains the proton and neutron while the electron cloud contains its electrons
What are the composition of atoms?
Speaking very generally, most atoms consist of a dense nucleus which contains protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud away from the nucleus which contains electrons.
The cloud around an atom's nucleus contains tiny what?
electrons. (electron cloud)
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
What is the negatively charged particle that is one of the three basic building blocks of atoms?
This is the particle in an orbital in the space around the atoms nucleus and it is called an electron.
Which subatomic particles form a cloud around the nucleus?
Electrons are what form the cloud around a nucleus
Who said electrons are in a cloud?
All matter is composed of atoms. An atom consists of a nucleus (it contains the positively charged neutrons). The electrons orbit the nucleus in a ring, therefore we refer to the electrons as the electron cloud.
Subatomic particle that circles an atoms nucleus?
Electrons orbit the atomic nucleus in an electron cloud.
What is around an atom's nucleus?
It is the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The electrons move in their orbits around the nucleus, and they form the cloud.
Which is more massive an atoms nucleus or an atoms electron cloud?
The nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons, is much more massive than the electrons.
What is the organization of atoms?
It is proton neutron in the nucleus and then electrons in the electron cloud.
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
