How many electrons can be on a outer shell of a nucleus?
Electrons are not located in the nucleus of an atom.
An electron in an atom's outer shell is shielded from the nucleus by what?
An electron in an atom's outer shell is shielded from the nucleus by inner-shell electrons. These inner-shell electrons repel the outer electron, reducing the net attractive force from the nucleus. This shielding effect helps explain why outer-shell electrons are more loosely bound and easier to remove during chemical reactions.
What is a atom outer electron shell made of?
You just said it, electrons. The "shell" is just an energy level. It is called a shell because it surrounds the atom, but it is just the electrons. Since there is no way to determine the exact location of an electron, it is referred to as an "electron cloud."
Is isotope often termed as an atom's outer shell?
No, never. An isotope has to do with the nucleus of the atom.
How do positive and negative charges in the outer shell of an atom connect with each other?
The outer shell of an atom is populated by electrons, which have a negative charge. Protons, which have a positive charge hang out in the nucleus of the atom.
What is the outer shell of an atom?
The outer shell is the valence electrons and they are very loosely bound to the nucleus - less force by the nucleus on the valence electrons, so valence shell's electrons are exchanged first in any reaction.
What is located in a cloud like mass that surrounds the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are located in the cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom.
What atom has 5 protons and 6 neutrons in the nucleus and 3 electrons in the outer shell?
Boron
Is the outer shell of an atom have the highest energy level?
Yes, the outer shell of an atom, known as the valence shell, generally has the highest energy level compared to the inner shells. Electrons in this outer shell are further from the nucleus and are less tightly bound, making them more energetic and involved in chemical bonding. The energy level of electrons decreases as you move inward toward the nucleus.
Which of the atomic particles requires 8 electrons in the outer shell in order to be considered a stable atom?
protons in the nucleus (the nucleus should have 8 protons). It is the oxygen-16 atom.
What particle surrounds the nucleus of an atom?
electrons
What is the outside edge of an atom called?
I believe it's just the outer shell. It is where the outer electrons are contained.
