A
Evenly distributed throughout the entire atom with no specific region
B
In the electron cloud (energy levels) surrounding the nucleus
C
Fixed in place between protons in the nucleus
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that in the simplified atomic model, the atom consists of a nucleus and electrons surrounding it.
Recall that the nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are tightly packed in the center of the atom.
Recognize that electrons are not fixed in place or inside the nucleus; instead, they occupy regions around the nucleus.
Learn that these regions where electrons are likely to be found are called electron clouds or energy levels.
Conclude that electrons are located in the electron cloud (energy levels) surrounding the nucleus, not evenly distributed throughout the atom or inside the nucleus.
