More tightly. There is an electrical attraction between the positively-charge nucleus and the negatively-charged electrons. By removing an electron, the same positive force is now working on one-fewer electrons, so it is stronger, and it takes more energy to remove the second, and even more to remove a third, and so on...

Why IE2 is greater than IE1?

Ionization energy (IE2) is greater than ionization energy (IE1) because removing a second electron from an atom often requires more energy than removing the first. This is due to increased effective nuclear charge on the remaining electrons after the first electron has been removed, which results in a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electrons. Additionally, if the first electron is removed from a stable electron configuration, the resulting ion may be more stable, further increasing the energy required for subsequent ionization.


What is the Movement of electrons central nucleus concepted by?

The movement of electrons around the nucleus has been described as orbits ( Bohr molecule) probability cloud (Schroedinger model), electrons being in orbitals


1 In an electrically neutral atom the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of?

In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.


What is "net worth"?

The value of a business or a property that is remaining after all debts and responsibilities have been removed.


What did Niels Bohr describe electrons as?

The electrons in the Bohr's model of the atom have been compared to the planets of our solar system. While Sun has been compared to nucleus containing nutrons and protons. Make note that the path of the electrons in a stable atom is circular.


Why are protons situated only in nucleus?

It is protons and neutrons that are known as nucleons when they are considered as the building blocks of an atomic nucleus. Electrons are not considered nucleons. Electrons form up in orbitals around an atomic nucleus. It is the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of a given atom and not the electrons. A related question is linked below.


What is the charge on the tin atom if four electrons have been removed?

The charge on the tin atom would be +4 if four electrons have been removed. This is because each electron carries a negative charge of -1, so removing four electrons results in a net positive charge of +4 on the atom.


How was dolly colned?

A fertile was taken out of a female sheep, and the nucleus was removed. Then, a regular cell was taken from a male sheep, the nucleus was also removed, but this time it was placed in the egg of the female sheep. This egg eventually grew into an identical clone of the male sheep from which the nucleus had been taken, and was named Dolly.


A 2-mm-diameter copper ball is charged to plus 50 nC What fraction of its electrons have been removed?

To find the fraction of electrons removed, we need to calculate the total charge of the copper ball when neutral, then compare it to the charge when +50 nC. Each electron has a charge of -1.6 x 10^-19 C. The number of electrons removed can be found by dividing the difference in charge by the charge of an electron. This will give us the fraction of electrons removed.


What is remaining solvent?

Remaining solvent refers to the amount of solvent that still exists in a solution after a process where some of the solvent has been removed or evaporated. It is often measured in terms of percentage or volume to determine the concentration of the solution.


What is the definition of citoplast?

A cytoplast is a cell in which the nucleus has been removed. It is also what the inner part of the cell without the cell wall, cell nucleus, and plasma membrane is called. This cytoplast includes the cytoskeleton, organelles and cytosol.
