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.

What and where is the charge in an atom?

Protons in the nucleus each have a positive charge, and electrons, surrounding the nucleus in the electron cloud, have a negative charge.


What is the charge of an electron and were is it located in an atom?

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.


What are the charges of the three subatomic particles and where are they located?

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 is the particle in the nucleus with a positive charge?

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.


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.


Atom are composed of at least three particlies called?

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-).


What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of 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.


Which particle is in the space surrounding the nucleus?

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.
