The electrons of an atom are found in the electron cloud, an area of space surrounding the atom.
The electrons circle around the atom in layers, called energy levels. The first level holds two electrons, the next holds eight, and the third level holds eighteen electrons. The levels continue to add up as more electrons are gained. The way to figure out how many electrons a level can hold is to multiply the level number by itself and multiply that answer by two. (e=L*L*2) The number of levels can continue rising.
The electron cloud is very large; if an atom were a penny, the electron cloud would be the size of a college courtyard!

Where are electrons found in an atom?
They are found in electron clouds around the nucleus.
What is found in the center or nucleus of an atom?
Neutrons and electrons are found in the nucleus of an atom; electrons are outside the nucleus in "electron clouds".
What is somthing found in an atom?
The nucleus can be found in the center of an atom. The electrons can be found in the 'surface' if an atom is considered to be a sphere.
Are protons and electrons both found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom?
No. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, but not electrons. Electrons are found in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
Which is not found in the nucleus of an atom protons neutrons electrons?
electrons
What can be found in an atom's nucleus?
The nucleus can be found in the center of an atom. The electrons can be found in the 'surface' if an atom is considered to be a sphere.
What is the electrons in the atoms?
Electrons are negatively charged species found in the atom and are revolving around the nucleus of an atom.
