What else can I help you with?
Is ionization energy required to add an electron to a netural atom?
Ionization energy is an expression linked to extraction of an electron.
What did bohr add to the atom?
Bohr added the concept of quantized energy levels to the atom, proposing that electrons exist in specific orbits around the nucleus, each with a specific energy level. This idea helped explain the stability of atoms and led to the development of the Bohr model of the atom.
What atom's energy change is when an electron is added to an atom?
The energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a gaseous atom is called the electron affinitybecause it measures the attraction, or affinity, of the atom for the added electron.The ionization energy measures the energy changes associated with removing electrons from an atom to form positively charged ions.
Can atoms be ionized by being excited?
No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.
Do electrons in the lowest energy level of an atom that determine how that atom reacts?
Electrons in the outer shell, also known as valance electrons, determine how an atom will react. To be more precise I should add that there are transition state elements whose reactivity is also influenced by some of the inner electrons as well.
What is the difference between the ground state of an atom and excited state of an atom?
An atom is in its ground state when all the electrons in the atom occupy orbitals that result in the minimum chemical potential energy for the atom as a whole. An excited atom is one that stores (at least for a brief interval) additional chemical potential energy as a result of at least one of the electrons in it occupying an orbital with higher energy than the orbital(s) the electrons in the same atom would occupy in the ground state of the atom.
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's?
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's ionization energy. It represents the amount of energy needed to remove the most loosely bound electron from an atom in its gaseous state.
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
The energy needed to completely remove a hydrogen atom from an oxygen atom is called?
bond energy
What happens to an electron when energY is added to a atom?
Adding an electron to an atom can result in one of three things. It will depend on what condition the atom starts in. For an atom that has less electrons than protons (a positive ion), it will make that atom less positive. If the atom has just one less electron than the number of protons, the additional electron will neutralize that atom. In a neutral atom, the extra electron will make that atom a negative ion. In an atom with one or more electrons than protons, that atom will be a negative ion, and the additional electron will simply make it more negative. Also, when an electron is added to a neutral atom, energy is released
Why is atom energy called atomic energy?
because it is from an atom. think about it atom-ic. not that hard of a concept
When you add the electrons in each energy level the sum represents the total number of?
electrons in an atom. Each energy level can hold a specific number of electrons based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the energy level. The sum of the electrons in all energy levels equals the total number of electrons in the atom.
