the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Those are made up of quarks but for a chemistry class you'll probably only need to know the neutrons and protons. The overall charge of the nucleus is how many protons are in the nucleus. To know this all you need is the atomic number of the element. So for hydrogen it is 1 and for oxygen it is 8. The charge of the whole atom is different though. It is the protons- the electrons.

What moves in clouds around the nucleus?

Assuming that's the nucleus of an atom, the answer is "electrons". They are in "clouds", sort of, around the nucleus of atoms.


What energy level in which element moves around the nucleus?

Elements do not move around the nucleus since the nucleus is at the core of the element.


What charge does the nucleus of an atom hold?

The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. This positive charge is due to the presence of protons in the nucleus. Electrons, which are negatively charged, orbit around the nucleus to balance out the overall charge of the atom.


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.
