Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Electron cloud is the space around the nucleus where the electrons move randomly.
In nucleus protons and neutrons are present. Electrons are located in the orbits or valence shell around the nucleus of an atom. An electron cloud is the area of negative charge that surrounds the nucleus. This is associated with the atomic orbit or it is a region that has probability of containing the large number of electrons.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct word is electron cloud.
