The electron cloud is probably the least dense part of an atom. The electron is certainly the smallest individual component of an atom, but electrons are in motion. And because they are in motion, they describe the volume of the atom. Additionally, they describe a huge volume compared to their size. That translates into the electron cloud "taking up lots and lots of room" but being populated by only a few electrons. The electron cloud has a very, very low density.
