Detailed explanation-1: -By definition, the electron cloud is the area around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are most likely to be found.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Fuzzy Cloud The modern model is also commonly called the electron cloud model. That’s because each orbital around the nucleus of the atom resembles a fuzzy cloud around the nucleus, like the ones shown in the Figure below for a helium atom.
Detailed explanation-3: -Where Are Electrons? Unlike protons and neutrons, which are located inside the nucleus at the center of the atom, electrons are found outside the nucleus. Because opposite electric charges attract each other, negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus.
Detailed explanation-4: -The electron cloud is the location around the nucleus that contains negatively-charged electrons.
