What do electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in?
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.
What is the shell of the nucleus?
An electron
What is a region around the nucleus in which electrons move about?
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in patterns called electron shells.
What is the name of the particles that circles the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
What is found in the center or nucleus of an atom?
Neutrons and electrons are found in the nucleus of an atom; electrons are outside the nucleus in "electron clouds".
What do electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in?
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.
The space surrounding the nucleus the nucleus of an atom contains?
Electrons
A subatomic particle that circles an atom's nucleus?
Electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.
What is the area outside the nucleus where electrons are found?
what is the area outside the nucleus where electrons are found
Where is the location of an electron outside of the nucleus?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
What is the shell of the nucleus?
An electron
How many electrons are in the nucleus of the element tin?
None, electrons are in the electron cloud, not the nucleus
What are the electron farthest from the nucleus called?
Electrons farthest from nucleus are valence electrons. They are present in outermost orbit.
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
What is a region around the nucleus in which electrons move about?
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in patterns called electron shells.
Does the chlorine have electrons in its nucleus as in its outermost shell?
No. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents what?
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital. A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy an orbital.
