The electron cloud model describes the of electrons in an atom?
The model is applied to movement and position of electrons in the atom.
What is the ring structure of an atom?
The ring structure of an atom is actually the reference to the movement of electrons around the nucleus. In reality, electrons don't really form such a ring/ But for the purpose of drawing an atom, the ring refers to the movement of electrons in an orbit around the nucleus.
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 is givin off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower orbit?
Energy (in the form of photons) is given off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower energy level.
Does the movement of electrons to atoms or from atoms make ions?
Yes. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
The electron cloud model describes the of electrons in an atom?
The model is applied to movement and position of electrons in the atom.
Charges of atoms are changed by the movement of?
Charges are changed by the movement of electrons to or from an atom.
What is the ring structure of an atom?
The ring structure of an atom is actually the reference to the movement of electrons around the nucleus. In reality, electrons don't really form such a ring/ But for the purpose of drawing an atom, the ring refers to the movement of electrons in an orbit around the nucleus.
Light given off by an atom is its what?
it is its energy emitted by electrons while moving from higher energy state to lower one.
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 can be said about the number of protons and electrons in an atom Why?
For any element an atom contains EQUAL number of protons and electrons. An atom has no charge. If any given atom has an unequal number of electrons and protons it is no longer an atom, but an ION.
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 are the numbers of protons and electrons in an atom?
The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom are the same and given by the element's atomic number.
What is given off when electrons return to their ground state?
energy is given out. this is emitted in the form light ie each atom has its own characteristic emission spectra.
What are electrons that are located at a given distance from an atom's nucleus in a region called?
valence electrons
True or False. The imbalance of electrons in an atom creates a movement of electrons called the electric current?
true
Which electrons are shared in molecules?
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
