electrons are way way far away from the center (nucleus) of the atom. lets say the nucleus was the size of a Basketball, the electrons would be marbles that are flying around miles away from the nucleus. this is one of the greatest mysteries of the atom, it's really taxing on the imagination when you realize how much of the atom is made up of empty space, and then to think about how everything is made up of atoms, that means everything is nearly 99.9% empty space.

Continuation

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and sometimes neutrons. The electron in orbit around the nucleus is ~1800 times smaller than a proton.

We perceive everything from the macro side of the molecular boundary. Atoms naturally roll and tumble as they wander through space, and as such, they appear as vibrating spheroids from our perspective.
