How many protons and electrons does a neutron have?
None. Protons and electrons are not constituents of a neutron. Both neutrons and protons are constituents of an atom's nucleus (core), while the electrons are situated in the electronic cloud around the nucleus.
What has a negative charge and can move from atom to atom?
electrons
What are the three constituents of an atom and also state the nature of charge on each?
Protons- positive Nuetrons-nuetral electons-negative
How electric iron become hot when electric current passes through it?
The electrons in the current have a lot of energy due to the tiny electric force on each one and the very large number of electrons involved. As they move from atom to atom in a metal conductor, some of this energy redistributes to the metal atoms. This energy causes the conductor atoms to move faster, which means they get hotter, and the heat flows to the surface of the iron.
What is the atom of alkali metal?
The atom with mass number= 23 and atomic number= 11 is of an alkali metal. Contact +233543374062 for more info
Why metal good conductors of heat?
Because the electrons of the atoms in the metal move freely and are not attached to one specific atom.
Electrons can move from atom to atom.?
elecron can move from atom to atom... yes
What are the constituents of bell metal?
Bell metal is a type of bronze consisting of 78% copper and 22% tin.
The lightest of an atom's main constituents?
An atom is composed of three main particles, the proton, electron and neutron. The electron is the lightest among the three.
When a metal atom combines with a non-metal atom how will the non-metal atom react?
metal and non metal usually combines to form complexes. as the valecy to be satisfied by both does not let them to form simple compounds with each other
How do electrons move?
Electrons can move from atom to atom and from object to object
Is zinc an atom?
Yes. Zn is a metal atom.
What does an atom lose electrons to?
A non-metal atom
How does heating acid make metal dissovle faster?
Heating a substance causes the molecules within it to move more quickly. So imagine that every surface atom of the metal reacted with acid: the faster the reacted material can move away from the unreacted metal, the faster new acid molecules can get close enough to the metal to react.
When do ionic bonds form?
They are formed when a strong metal atom is bonded with a strong non metal atom.
Why are metals good heat conductors?
Some of the outer electrons of metal atoms are free to move from atom to atom. These free electrons transfer heat readily making metals good thermal conductors.
How Metallic bonding causes medals to conduct electric current?
Metals conduct electricity and electric current. Electric current is possible when charged particles are free to move. A metallic bond is the bond between a positive metal and the atoms in metal (metal atoms combined in regular patterns in which valence electrons are free to move from atom to atom). ~let me guess page 180 problem 16 haha physical science :)
