Electron cloud is a term coined to the finder and nobel prize winner Richard Feynman and also alot of time used to help anwser the question. What is an electron? A electron is a wavefunction or like a cloud that is floating around the atomic nucleus. The electron cloud formulation better describes many observed phenomena, including the double slit experiment, the periodic table and chemical bonding, and atomic interactions with light. The electron clouds behavior is described as wavelike but it is compact enough to some times be classified as a particel on certain lenght-scales.

This term is really important to scientist and us for describing a electron. It helps scientist to find a electron and no its living area. Also electron clouds help us determine that point-like particles actually do not exist and that the universe's evolution may be fundamentally uncertain.
