The "orbit" of an electron is the energy level that electron happens to be in. When we get to particles the size of electrons, the concept of electrons following a specific path begins to fall apart. We can no longer talk about an electron being somewhere and having a specific velocity; we can only talk about the PROBABILITY of an electron being at a specific place, as well as the most likely velocity at a given orbit.

A particle that moves around the nucleus is a what?
These particles are called electrons.
What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.
What is the Paths around the Nucleus called?
Electrons are said to occupy orbitals, around the atomic nucleus. They do not actually orbit in the manner that planets orbit the sun; they spread themselves out, as an electron cloud, and surround the nucleus rather than moving in an orbit.
What is the area surrounding nucleus of atom called?
Electron Cloud
What is a particle that moves around the nucleus?
Assuming that by nucleus you refer to an atom the particles circling the atoms center (protons and neutrons ) are called electrons.
What is it called when a orbit around a nucleus?
"electron"
What carries a negative charge and circulates around the nucleus?
Negatively charged particles in an atom that move around the nucleus are called electrons.
The electron travels around the nucleus in orbits called what?
They have many names. Common ones are orbitals or energy levels.
What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?
What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?an electron cloud. not neutron
What is the region around a nucleus where an electron might be found?
The place around the nucleus where an electron can be found is called the ORBITAL . Accordingly the place where the chances of finding an electron are the least is known as 'NODE' .
A particle that moves around the nucleus is a what?
These particles are called electrons.
What is the area around the nucleus wheere the electrons move called?
electron cloud
What are the region around the nucleus where the electrons are located called?
electron cloud
What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.
What is a region around the nucleus in which electrons move about?
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in patterns called electron shells.
The region of space where electrons of a certain energy move about the nucleus of an atom?
You think probable to the electron clouds.
Which particle of an atom is in a cloud space?
We understand that the electron is the particle that is found in what is called the electron cloud around the nucleus of an atom.
