Yes, electrons move very quickly around the nucleus. They move so quickly over such a short distance (atoms are really small) that every electron is considered to be in multiple places at once. All of these places added together make up some type of figure called an orbital. To get an idea, the electron in a hydrogen atom is moving at about 2,200 km/sec. This is so quick that the electron more or less creates a sphere of negative charge around the atom as it moves (if the atom isn't bonding to anything).

What is the particle of an atom that moves rapidly in the cloudlike region around the nucleus?

These particles are the electrons, elementary particles with negative electrical charge.


Regions where electrons are located?

Electrons are bound inside an electrostatic potential well around the nucleus; ext. energy is needed for the electron to escape.


Where are the electrons located?

The electrons flow around the atoms nucleus...the protons and neutrons are on the inside of the neucleus.


Are the broad bands or regions located around the nucleus where the electrons are found called energy rings?

No, the broad bands or regions around the nucleus where electrons are found are called electron shells or energy levels. These shells represent different energy levels for the electrons in an atom.


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.


These are regions of space outside the nucleus where electrons travel?

The space outside of the nucleus of an atom where electrons reside is referred to the electron shell or an orbital. According to quantum mechanics theory, electrons do not technically travel, they just exist around the nucleus in something like a shell or a cloud.


Which parts of the atom move around the nucleous?

Electrons. They have a negative charge.


What is the regions where electrons are located?

Electrons are located in specific energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. These regions are known as electron shells or orbitals. Each shell can hold a certain number of electrons based on its energy level.


Regions where electrons are located were?

Electrons are bound inside an electrostatic potential well around the nucleus; ext. energy is needed for the electron to escape.
