What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
What do you call the electrons in the outermost energy level?
Electrons in the outermost energy level are called valence electrons. The number of valence electrons on an atom largely determine its behavior and characteristics.
What is the model used to describe behavior of very small particles such as electrons orbiting an atom?
quantam mechanics
What are electrons and how do you find how many electrons are in an atom?
Electrons are subatomic particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom. They carry a negative charge and are responsible for chemical reactions and the formation of chemical bonds. The number of electrons in an atom can be determined by its atomic number, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
What deterimines an atom's chemical properties?
The chemical behavior of an atom depends mostly on the number of electrons in its outermost shell.
What does the electron configuration of an atom reveal?
It can reveal the number of valence electrons in the last shell.
What does the atomic number of an atom reveal the number of?
it tells you the amount of electrons the atom has orbitting the atom and the nucleus
What does the atomic number of an atom reveal bout its composition?
it tells you the amount of electrons the atom has orbitting the atom and the nucleus
What are the subatomic particles that determine an atom's chemical behavior?
electrons
What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
The chemical behavior of an atom depends upon?
The outermost electrons, meaning the ones in the valence shell of the atom.
Are the electrons of an atom affected by temperature?
Temperature definitely affects the electrons of an atom, if the temperature is high enough. That is why fires produce light; the light you see from a fire is emitted by excited electrons.
What determines how atoms react with other atoms?
The chemical behavior of an atom is determined by its electron configuration - that is, the distribution of electrons in the atom's shells.
Those electrons that are largely responsible for an atoms chemical behavior are called?
The outermost electrons in an atom that are responsible for all chemistry are known as valence electrons.
What do you call the electrons in the outermost energy level?
Electrons in the outermost energy level are called valence electrons. The number of valence electrons on an atom largely determine its behavior and characteristics.
What is the model used to describe behavior of very small particles such as electrons orbiting an atom?
quantam mechanics
What are subatomic particles that determine an atoms behavior or bonding ability?
Electrons. The number of valence or "free" electrons an atom has determines how it can bond with other atoms.
