What can be created by forcing electrons to flow from atom to atom?
The flow of electrons from atom to atom is an electrical current.
How do electrons move?
Electrons can move from atom to atom and from object to object
What happens when there are too many electrons?
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
What subatomic particles determine the charge of an atom?
The electron. The electron is has a negative charge. The more electrons that are in a valence shell of the atom the more negative the atom will be.
Which atom has only 6 electrons?
The neutral atom is Carbon, but other ions can have only 6 electrons.
How are electrons in a atom organized?
Electrons are generally gathered around an atom beginning with the lowest possible quantum numbers.
Electrons are organized in a series of what around the nucleus of an atom?
Electron shells, orbitals, and sub-orbitals.
What is the best description of how an atom is organized?
A small core of nucleons (protons and neutrons) surrounded by an attenuated cloud of electrons.
Which electrons are the valence electrons of an atom?
The electrons farthest away from the nucleus are the valence electrons of an atom.
Where are the electrons in an atom?
Electrons are located in the electron cloud - the outermost portion of the atom. The electron cloud accounts for about 99% of the space taken up by the atom, yet less than 1% of the mass. A good way of thinking about this is in terms of a football field. Imagine the nucleus of the atom was the size of a blueberry. Place the blueberry in the middle of a football field, and that is the size of the electron cloud in comparison to the nucleus. As you see, the atom is mostly empty space with electrons floating around within. Within the electron cloud, electrons are organized into levels, sublevels, orbitals, and spins. Outermost electrons bond with other atoms. The placement of electrons within an electron cloud determines the stability and chemical properties of an element.
What can be created by forcing electrons to flow from atom to atom?
The flow of electrons from atom to atom is an electrical current.
What outermost electrons in an atom with the inner electrons of an atom in terms of energy.?
valence electrons
What are the outer electrons of an atom called?
The outer electrons of an atom are called valence electrons.
How many electrons are found in carbon atom?
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
What are all the electrons in a atom?
All the electrons in an atom form the so-called cloud of electrons.
In an atom electrons are what?
valence electrons are the electrons located in the outer shell of an atom which are available for reaction
Which of a potassium atom's electrons are its valence electrons?
Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell of the atom.
