What is the charge on the cloud or shell of the atom?

The charge of an electron cloud is negative. The electron cloud is made up of electrons, and the electrons are negatively charged. The electron cloud will have a negative charge as well.


Are valence electrons located in the electron cloud?

The outermost shell of an electron is called the valence shell. This shell may or may not have electrons.The valence shell is a part of the electron cloud.So your answer isYes, the valence electrons are located in the electron cloud.

Where is a electron?

In atoms. More specifically, they orbit the nucleus of an atom, in the aptly name electron cloud. Or electron shell.


What are the region around the nucleus where the electrons are located called?

The region around the nucleus where the electrons are located is called the electron cloud or electron shell. Electrons exist in specific energy levels within these shells, determined by their distance from the nucleus.


What is the predicted orbital angular momentum by the shell model?

The shell model predicts the orbital angular momentum of an electron in an atom based on its energy level and position within the electron cloud.

If electrons have the most energy in an atom electrons in an electron cloud electrons in the outermost electron shell electrons in the innermost electron shell electrons in the nucleus?

Electrons in the outermost electron shell have the most energy in an atom. The energy of an electron increases as it moves further away from the nucleus. Electrons in the innermost shell have the least energy, while electrons in the nucleus have the highest energy due to their proximity to the protons.


What is the area surrounding the atom where electrons are located?

Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.


What is the outside edge of an atom called?

I believe it's just the outer shell. It is where the outer electrons are contained.
