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.

Where are an atom's electrons found?

In the orbitals surrounding the nucleus.


Does a proton make up the most volume of an atom?

No, a proton is a subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom. The majority of the volume of an atom is made up of the empty space surrounding the nucleus, where the electrons are found.


What does the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contain?

The space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contains electrons, which are negatively charged particles. These electrons occupy various energy levels or orbitals around the nucleus.


What is found between the electrons and the nucleus in an atom?

The space between the electrons and the nucleus in an atom is filled with empty space and the nucleus contains protons and neutrons.


Where is the electron most likely to be found in the nucleus of an atom?

The electron is most likely to be found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom, rather than inside the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while electrons are located in the electron orbitals outside the nucleus.


What small particles are found inside the middle of the atom?

Protons and neutrons are found inside the nucleus of an atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.


What makes an atom?

an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.


Where are the electrons located in an atom?

in the outer layers or shells of the atom around the nuclei or you can also say nucleus


Where is most of the atoms mass found?

An atom's mass is concentrated in its nucleus, which is located in the center of the atom. Protons and neutrons within the nucleus are responsible for its mass; the electrons, which are located outside of the nucleus, don't contribute to the mass of the atom.


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.


Neutrons are negatively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom?

Yes and no. Electrons are negatively charged, but the are not found within the nucleus.
