It isn't a physical cloud, it is the area electrons orbits are found in.
While this is true, it is actually called an "electron cloud" because the electrons that spin around the nucleus are spinning around it so fast.
The charge on an electron is negative (it's -1), and electrons in an atom are found in orbitals (or Fermi energy levels) in the electron cloud far from the nucleus.
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.
Yes and no. Electrons are negatively charged, but the are not found within the nucleus.
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.
Protons in the nucleus each have a positive charge, and electrons, surrounding the nucleus in the electron cloud, have a negative charge.
The charge on an electron is negative (it's -1), and electrons in an atom are found in orbitals (or Fermi energy levels) in the electron cloud far from the nucleus.
Protons have a charge of +1 and are in the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a charge of 0 and are also in the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a charge of -1 and are found outside of the nucleus, in the electron cloud.
The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains both protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. The electrons, which have a negative charge are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
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.
The atom is made up of a nucleus and an electron cloud. The nucleus contain protons (positive particles, p+) and neutrons (particles of no charge, n0). The electron cloud is made up of orbiting electron which possess a negative charge (e-).
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.
Electrons are the particles that surround the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative charge and occupy energy levels around the nucleus in an electron cloud.
