Answer 1

Answer:

Electron cloud

Explanation:

• In an atom, the nucleus contains neutrons and protons. Electrons surround the nucleus.

• Protons are positively charged while electrons are negatively charged.

The space in which electrons are located is called an electron cloud. Because this region is composed only of electrons and empty space, it has an overall negative charge.
