Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The area around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are most likely to be found
A
Atomic Mass
B
Atomic Number
C
Electron Cloud
D
Isotopes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is electron shell or energy level. Electron shells or energy levels are the places in an electron cloud where an electron is most likely to be found. They have fixed distances from the nucleus, and each electron shell can accommodate a specific amount of electrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Orbitals. An orbital is a specifically shaped region of space around the nucleus where an electron is most likely found.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom, a dense and positively charged core, whereas the negatively charged electrons can be found around the nucleus in an electron cloud.

Detailed explanation-4: -The place in an atom where an electron is likely to be found is an orbital. The orbital represents the space where we can find the electron with a non-zero probability. The orbital is located outside the nucleus of the atom.
