What else can I help you with?
Where do radioactive atoms start on the periodic table?
Radioactive atoms can be found throughout the periodic table. They can be naturally occurring elements like uranium and thorium, or they can be created synthetically in laboratories by bombarding stable atoms with particles.
How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
What group of atoms on the periodic table is stable and therefore do not undergo ionization?
Group 18, starting with Helium
What does it mean when an atom is both stable and neutral?
An atom of an element for example Neon (Ne) is neutral (no positive or negative charge as it has 8 electrons in the outer shell) and is very stable. It is a noble gas because the outer electron shell is filled which makes it largely chemically inert, and it is stable because it's usual isotope does not undergo nuclear decay. Most of the 92 naturally occurring elements, in their most abundant isotope, are stable.
What are elemental ions?
In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
What has all atoms the same?
All stable Atoms have the same neutral charge, and cannot be divided into smaller units while retaining their chemical identity
Where are the happy atoms located?
Happy atoms refer to positive ions that have gained electrons, thus achieving stability and a neutral charge. In general, happy atoms can be found in stable compounds where atoms have achieved a full outer electron shell through bonding with other atoms.
What characteristics does a neutral atom possess?
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, giving it no overall charge. It is stable and does not attract or repel other atoms.
What is a bond called that shares electrons between two neutral atoms?
A bond that shares electrons between two neutral atoms is called a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share pairs of electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What group in the periodic table do atoms try to imitate by changing their electrons?
Atoms try to imitate the noble gases in the periodic table by changing their electrons. Noble gases have stable electron configurations, so other atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a similar stable configuration like the noble gases.
What is the neutral particle that forms when atoms share electrons?
It is a molecule with a covalent bonding.
