Electrons "hang out" in the electron cloud rather than in the nucleus or an "atom cloud." The electron cloud refers to the region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are likely to be found. This cloud is a representation of the probabilities of an electron's location, rather than a fixed path or position. The nucleus, on the other hand, contains protons and neutrons and is where the bulk of an atom's mass is concentrated.
