    If you were sitting inside the hydrogen nucleus watching the 1s electron, you wouldnt actually see it as a tiny particle orbiting around you. Instead, it would look like a blurry cloud surrounding you in all directions, sometimes coming very close, sometimes a bit farther, but never staying in one spot. Over time, if you tracked where it appeared the most, youd notice that it spends most of its time near you but is spread out like a mist instead of moving in a clear path. This happens because electrons dont behave like tiny marbles, they exist as waves of probability, which means their position is never perfectly defined, only more or less likely to be found in certain places.
