The arrangement of the electrons in an atom is known as its electron configuration.
Electronegativity of each atom is what determines the electron distribution of a bond. The electronegativity of an atom affects its distance in its valence electrons and its atomic number.
an atom is larger than an electron
+1. Because an atom normally has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is neutral. By removing a negative (the electron), the atom is then positive. The more electrons you remove, the more positive the atom becomes. Then, it is called an ion, such as Cu is copper, but Cu2+ is a copper(II) ion; it is a copper atom that has lost two electrons.
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
Electron configuration for an atom is the distribution of electrons on atomic orbitals.
If one electron is gained, then it has a charge of -1.
The arrangement of the electrons in an atom is known as its electron configuration.
The distribution of electron around an atom in various shells is sometimes referred to as electron cloud. If there are more electrons in certain space around the atom, that space is said to have a denser electron cloud.
An electron around an atom forms a sort of cloud; the cloud represents the probability distribution of finding the electron in different places. In the simplest case, this distribution is spherically symmetrical, but for the outer electrons, the distribution is more complicated. For more information, check the Wikipedia article on "Atomic orbital".
The specific field of science that an electron configuration applies to is quantum physics. Electron Configuration refers to the distribution of electrons in an atom.
Electronegativity of each atom is what determines the electron distribution of a bond. The electronegativity of an atom affects its distance in its valence electrons and its atomic number.
When a chlorine atom, which normally has 7 electrons in the valence shell, gains an electron, it achieves a stable state similar to the noble gas, having 8 electrons in the outer shell. This results in the formation of the chloride ion, Cl-.
An electron cloud is a general term to describe the distribution of electrons around an atom. Do you mean how many orbitals does Be have?
An atom that has gained one or more electrons, becoming a negative ion, is larger than its parent atom.
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
Every elements have the electrons of an atom distribution or a molecule in molecular orbitals and it is called electron configuration. The element that can be grouped in the family with above electron configuration is called antimony.
