Question

1. where are electrons located in an atom?

a. inside the nucleus
b. in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus
c. attached to protons
d. inside neutrons

Explanation:

To determine the location of electrons in an atom, we recall atomic structure: the nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Electrons are not in the nucleus (eliminating A and D) nor attached to protons (eliminating C). Electrons exist in the electron cloud (or orbitals) surrounding the nucleus.

Answer:

B. In the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus
