How is a atom formed?

Answer 1

the basic structure of an atom without getting into really advanced and/or theoretical physics is this:


at the center of an atom is a nucleus. because of the size of the nucleus, it exerts an attractive force. in orbitals, or 3-d "rings" around the nucleus, there are electrons. there can be several orbitals in one atom. sometimes, these orbitals are referred to as "energy levels." each energy level is sort of like the sections of a stadium: there are a certain number of "seats" in each section, and once tickets for all of those seats have been sold, you have to move to another section. similarly, each energy level can accommodate a certain number of electrons and once it has accepted it's maximum number of electrons, extra electrons have to move to another section or orbital.

the energy level closest to the nucleus is called the ground level and it is always filled first. energy levels are filled by placing electrons in the levels closest to the nucleus first and gradually working your way out. if an outer energy level has more seats than it does electrons, it will try to find other electrons to fill the seats. depending on the atom, it will either kick an electron out of the orbital or attract an electron to it. let's go with an example:

let's say atom A has all of its energy levels filled except for it's fourth. in the fourth level, it can hold five electrons, but it only has one electron living there. atom B has all of it's energy levels filled except for it's sixth, which can hold three electrons but only has two. if these atoms are brought close to each other, atom B will notice that atom A has an extra electron. since it is easier for atom A to give up one electron than it is for atom B to give two to atom A, atom A will share its one electron with atom B, filling atom B's outermost energy level

Answer 2

all the matters in this world contain energy in them in the form of either potential or kinetic . in case of an atom, it gets kinetic energy from the motion of it's sub-atomic particles (electrons ) which are always in motion. it also contains potential energy because of the cohesive and adhesive forces among subatomic particles(electrons ,proton & neutrons)..

Answer 3

it is a gift given by god. kavin has invented it by his crappy powers. So long good bye. - Kavinci code

Answer 4

All atoms heavier than hydrogen are formed in satrs or the explosion of stars.

Answer 5

Elements and their atoms are created in novae and supernovae.
