Electrons inhabit a probability cloud around the nucleus, which is related to their possible velocities. The closer the cloud is to the nucleus, the higher the kinetic energy, which allows it to overcome the electromagnetic attraction of the protons.

What particle is not located in the nucleus proton electron neutron quark?
The electron.
Which subatomic particle can be found in the area outside the nucleus of an atom?
The three subatomic particles are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus in the electron cloud.
A subatomic particle that circles an atom's nucleus?
Electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.
What is the particle not found in the nucleus?
the electron
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.
Why does an electron have to live in an orbital?
A fundamental law of electrostatics is that opposite charges attract. Electrons carry a negative charge, and protons carry a positive one. The positive charge on the nucleus "captures" the electron and they take up station in an orbital. The electron has too much energy to give it up and collapse into the nucleus, so it hangs out in the electron cloud with other electrons.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus the?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
Is the nucleus a region in which there is a good chance of finding an electron?
An electron is what orbits the nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
Where is the location of an electron outside of the nucleus?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
If the electron in a hydrogen atom obeyed classical mechanic instead of quantum mechanics?
It would spiral into the nucleus, emitting x-rays all the way in. Matter would collapse.
In an s orbit the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on?
It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.
How many particles do the atom have?
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
