No, electrons from a battery don't reach the bulb before it lights. An electric current is not simply a flow of electrons. Rather, an electron in a circuit will move only a short distance and then nudge another electron into motion, which will do the same thing with yet another electron. So while the current moves through the entire circuit, individual electrons do not unless it is left on for a very long time.

What part of the atom is involved in a chemical bond?
A standard chemical reaction always and only involves a change in the electron configuration of the atom (either the number of electrons or their energy configuration).If the nucleus is affected (either the number of protons or electrons), then it is designated as a nuclear reaction, and this is quite different.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
How does electricity give off energy?
Electrons are given energy because of the work done by the attractive or repulsive force, when they reach the place where they meet positive charges, they give off (release) their energy.
Do the electrons move the speed of the light?
No, because the orbital is really just an abraction - the electron isn't racing around the orbital like a racecar, so there isn't a speed. The orbital is a better measure of the electrons potential energy.
Why displacement is called vector?
well i guess because there are multiple ways to make a distance...let say A to B. it can go round and round before it finally reach B. You can go either direction to reach B. but when it comes to displacement, it demand the shortest distance to reach B, which is only one way to do it, i think this qualify displacement to have a specific direction.

How do you change the brake light bulb in a 92 tercel?
never done a tercel before, but generally the back lights and brake lights are reached by going into the trunk or hatcback. you may have to pull back some lining to reach the lights
Do polonium lose or gain electrons to reach 8?
Polonium lose electrons.
Do ions have an unusual number of electrons?
Cations donate electrons from their valance shell, have less, to reach their octet state. Anions accept electrons into their valance shell, have more, to reach their octet state.
What is the Aurora or northern lights?
At certain times the Sun emits energetic electrons. When they reach the Earth, they are deflected by Earth's magnetic field to the poles. Here they interact with the atmosphere, partially ionize it, and produce beautiful colors.
Where is the Monte Carlo battery located?
The battery on the Monte Carlo is under the hood. It is under the washer fluid bottle, which has to be removed to reach the battery.
Is a car battery 2 kg?
It depends upon the size of the battery. For example, 1 triple A battery (AAA) hardly reach 1/16th kg..:)
Do lights take 8 minutes to reach the earth from the sunTrue or false?
true
Why lose or gain electrons?
Compounds will gain or lose electrons in order to reach a more stable state, ideally a full valence shell.
How many electrons does barium have to give up in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
2 electrons as barium has 56 electrons so it will lose two electrons to reach the electronic structure of the nearest noble gas which is xenon 54 electrons
How does citric acid work as a battery?
Acid's are unstable compounds, that is how they work, acids have Hydrogen atoms attached to it that are not bonded strongly. Chemicals want to reach a state where they are stable so they will react with other chemicals until they reach a final state where all the atoms are bonded strongly. When two different metals (like copper and zinc), are placed in an acid, the acid will drop 2 hydrogen atoms to replace it with a zinc atom. When the zinc atom joins the acid compound, it has two leftover electrons which stay on the main body of zinc. The two hydrogen atoms in the meantime take two electrons from the copper and become a hydrogen gas molecule, (h2). In the end, the zinc has two extra electrons, and the copper is missing two, when connected by a wire, the electrons flow from the zinc to the copper, in order to balance the electrical difference.
Why is aluminum plus 3?
Because there are 3 electrons in its outermost shell, to reach the nearest noble gas electronic configuration it loses 3 electrons .
