Can a particle consist of only a single atom?
Yes, a particle can consist of only a single atom.
How many electrons does each hydrogen atom have in its valence shell?
Hydrogen doesn't really have a valence shell. It has one electron only.
Does the nucleus of an atom consist of neutrons and electrons?
No,the nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. The electrons orbit around the nucleus forming an electron cloud. The only exception to this is the atom of hydrogen(H) which nucleus consists only of one proton.
When a potassium atom reacts with a bromine atom the potassium atom will?
lose only one electron
What consist of only one type of atom?
an element consists of only 1 type of atom !
What is the only subatomic particle that can jump from atom to atom?
An electron can jump from atom to atom.
In methane the total number of groups of electrons on the central atom is?
There are four pairs of electrons around the central carbon atom of methane. These pairs each consist of one electron originally from the carbon and one from the hydrogen atom bonded to it.Though the question only considers the outer shell of electrons, as that is the only shell used for bonding, it may be useful to remember that in methane the carbon atom has a total of ten electrons around it, due to its two inner electrons.
What particle is not found in the atom of hydrogen?
neutron, but only in the isotope H-1 (protium)
Why does an oxygen atom only form two covalent bonds with hydrogen atom?
An oxygen atom only forms two covalent bonds with a hydrogen atom because oxygen needs to gain two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, similar to the noble gas configuration. By sharing one electron with each hydrogen atom, oxygen can fulfill its octet and achieve stability.
How many electrons that a hydrogen atom shares?
Hydrogen atoms have one valence electron which is also the only electron they have.
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron to another atom what does it become?
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
What happens when two electrons get closer together?
The electron in each atom starts to notice the proton of the other atom. As a result, it becomes attracted not only to its own proton, but to the proton of the other atom as well. ... And electrons tend to repel each other.
