really, really, really, really small.
composed of a nucleus made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. The nucleus contains most of the atom's mass, while the electrons determine the atom's chemical properties.
The central atom in a Lewis structure is usually the least electronegative atom.EDIT:If an atom occurs only once, this atom is most likely to be the central atom (exception is hydrogen, as it can make only 1 bond [1 electron necessary to reach a noble gas electron configuration]). The atom that can form the greatest number of bonds (has the least number of valence electrons) or is the least electronegative (least likely to attract atoms).
A boron atom usually has 5 neutrons.
An oxidation state is a number that is assigned to an element in a chemical combination.
An atom can usually make up to four covalent bonds by sharing its valence electrons with other atoms. This allows the atom to achieve a full outer electron shell and become more stable.
Subatomic particles can usually pass undeflected through an atom because the volume of an atom is mostly made up of empty space where the electron cloud is located. The nucleus, containing protons and neutrons, is very small compared to the overall size of the atom. This allows subatomic particles to pass through without being significantly deflected by the positively charged nucleus.
desoh
Yes, they usually are; being an isotope does not change the chemistry of the atom.
inorganic
Atom is used to create an atomic bomb. Atom has three parts.
TRUE
Yes, the number of electrons orbiting an atom is typically equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. This balance is essential for an atom to be electrically neutral.
There are not usually an equal number.
The negative pole is near the electronegative atom. This is an atom that usually gains electrons with an overall negative charge.
Radioactive alpha, beta, and gamma radiation are produced during the decay of certain types of unstable atomic nuclei, such as those of radioactive elements like uranium or radium. These types of radiation can also be produced in nuclear reactions, such as those that occur in nuclear power plants or in nuclear weapons.
