Has anyone heard the statement that a cloud of electrons neither reflects, transmits or absorbs any light therefore making it "invisiable"?
Is this true?

A cloud of electrons refers to a group of free electrons that are not bound to any specific atom or molecule. These electrons have a negative charge and can move freely within a given space.
A cloud of electrons does not reflect light because it does not have a defined surface or structure. Unlike solid objects, which have a smooth surface that can reflect light, a cloud of electrons is made up of individual particles that are constantly moving and do not have a consistent surface for light to bounce off of.
When light passes through a cloud of electrons, the electrons may absorb some of the energy from the light and become excited. This can cause the electrons to release the energy in the form of heat or light, resulting in a phenomenon known as luminescence.
No, a cloud of electrons is not visible to the human eye. Since it does not reflect or scatter light, it appears as an empty space to our eyes. However, special equipment such as electron microscopes can be used to observe and study clouds of electrons.
Yes, clouds of electrons can be found in nature. They are commonly found in plasma, which is the fourth state of matter that occurs at extremely high temperatures or in space. They are also present in lightning strikes, which are essentially large clouds of electrons that have been excited by an electrical charge.
