What is an electron cloud shaped liked?
The shape of an electron cloud depends on the energy sublevel. Each electron cloud is different, so there is no definitive shape.
What whirls around the nucleus so quickly that they make a cloud of particles?
Electrons whirl around the nucleus of an atom at high speeds, creating an electron cloud that represents the probability of finding an electron in a particular location. This electron cloud gives each orbital shape and energy level within an atom.
Does the electron cloud contain proton's or neutrons or electrons?
This question doesn't technically have an answer. The electron cloud simply surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. Each atom of different elements has a different number of protons. It is not determined by the electron cloud. An electron cloud doesn't have a nucleus as the question implies either. An electron cloud odes not contain protons either. Just electrons, as the name suggests.
What is a electron cloud is shaped like?
The "shape" of an electron cloud is the surface of equal probability for electrons of a given energy. The shapes can be calculated from the Schrödinger equation. Being quantum phenomena, the identified shape is actually a probability cloud defining the volume within which 50% of the electrons will be found, the other 50% of the electrons will be found outside that cloud. Electron clouds have many different strange shapes. The simplest electron clouds are the clouds for the s orbitals, which are spherical - so in that case - no, the s-orbital electron cloud is NOT shaped like a drop (although you would expect the nucleus to be at its center) There are three perpendicular electron clouds for the p orbitals, which are roughly hourglass shaped - or, if you will, two blobs that mirror each other across the nucleus - not exactly drop shaped. The five electron clouds for the d orbitals and the seven electron clouds for the f orbitals become progressively harder to describe in words but all have portions that could be described as "tear-drop" shaped with the narrow end pointing towards the nucleus.
What particles are found in each main part of the atom?
Protons and neutrons are found in the atom's nucleus. Electrons are found somewhere outside of the nucleus in shells of probability, called the electron cloud.

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 region around the nucleus where electrons are found?
The electron cloud. An electron cloud is a volume or region in the atom where it is likely to find or detect an electron. It is actually really hard to detect an electron because an atom is mostly empty space, electrons are orbiting the nucleus at almost the speed of light so they orbit really fast, the electrons are very tiny and may be point like since we don't really know the volume or size of the electron, and an atom in reality is 3 dimensional which the electron cloud and orbitals is 3 dimensional. Since electrons are so hard to detect then they would call this volume or region of the atom an electron cloud because the electron cloud is a volume or region where they know that electrons are likely to be there even if they are hard to find. Or maybe the electron cloud is where they can also know the different sub- orbitals or subshells of the electrons.
Which term refers to the region of an atom where an electron is most likely to be found?
That would be the electron cloud. This is like the orbital model where there are electrons in each orbit level but the electron's location can not be predicted so it is said to be most likely at a point in the electron cloud.

What is found in the electron cloud of an atom?
I think the word you're looking for is "electron cloud". That term already describes where electrons are found. It would be kind of silly to define "electron cloud" in such a way that it describes an area where electrons are not found, wouldn't it?
What is the name of the 4 sub levels?
The four sublevels are s, p, d, and f. These sublevels indicate the shape of the electron cloud around an atom's nucleus, with each sublevel containing a different number of orbitals.

Which number represents the shape of an electron subshell?
The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the secondary quantum number. The first is n, or the energy level, the second is the sublevel, the third is the specific cloud, and the fourth is the spin.
How many electrons are there in each electron cloud for neon?
How am i supposed 2 no? im the 1 who asked the question!
What is the maximum number of electrons in each of the first three energy level list separately?
is the electron cloud
