Where are electrons in atoms?

Electrons are found orbiting the nucleus of an atom. The reason they orbit is because the nucleus is positively charged, consisting of protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). Of course, different charges attract. So the electrons (negative) are attracted to the positively charged nucleus, but are moving so fast that their momentum exactly cancels out the attraction to the nucleus. If the electrons were orbiting any faster, they would fly out of the atom. If they were orbiting any slower, they would eventually become part of the nucleus.


What is atom made from?

A nucleus of Protos and Neutrons held together by the strong force with orbiting electrons around the nucleus.


What is the name of the particles orbiting around the central part?

Assuming you are talking about an atom, which you really should have stated in your question, the nucleus (the "central part" of the atom) consists of neutrons and protons. The particles orbiting the nucleus are electrons.


What would you find orbiting the nucleus of an atom?

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative electric charge and are much smaller than the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The electrons move in specific energy levels or shells around the nucleus.


The number of electrons orbiting an atom usually equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?

Yes, the number of electrons orbiting an atom is typically equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. This balance is essential for an atom to be electrically neutral.
