Negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital. Electrons are located at fixed distances from the nucleus, called energy levels.

So i believe the answer you’re looking for is, Orbitals.
