The Electron Cloud
The radius of an atom extends to the outer edge of its electron cloud, which is the region where electrons are most likely to be found in. The electron cloud represents the volume of space where electrons can exist around the nucleus of an atom.
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.
Protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge, the central region of an atom composed of protons and neutrons is called the nucleus.
The atom's central region is called the nucleus. It contains protons and neutrons, which are the particles that make up the majority of an atom's mass. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in different energy levels.
Electron orbitals.
The region between the nucleus and the electrons in an atom is called the electron cloud.
The space between the electrons and the nucleus in an atom is filled with empty space and the nucleus contains protons and neutrons.

electrons
The space in which electrons move around the nucleus is called the electron cloud or electron shell. It represents the region where electrons are most likely to be found within an atom.
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.

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.
The region around the nucleus of an atom occupied by electrons is called the electron cloud or electron shell. This is where electrons are most likely to be found based on their energy levels or orbitals.
An atom is made of protons and neutrons which make up the nucleus and electrons that are around the nucleus. Although almost all the mass of an atom is in the nucleus, most of the space that the atom takes up is occupied by the electrons. In very simple terms, the electrons are in orbits around the nucleus so most of the volume of the atom is empty space within the volume that the electrons occupy. The behaviour of the electrons is often assumed to be orbits but their actual positions are not that simple.As a final note, all atoms contain neutrons with the exception of hydrogen which can exist as one proton and one electron.
