What moves at a high speed around nucleus of an atom?
This particle is the electron moving in it's orbital " around " the nucleus.
Where on an atom can electrons can be found?
Electrons can be found in regions of space around the nucleus called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by the principal quantum number, with the first shell closest to the nucleus and subsequent shells further away. Within each shell, electrons occupy specific orbitals, which are specific regions where electrons are most likely to be found.
What term is used for the electrons in the outermost shell?
there called valence electrons
How how many electrons can each of the four shells nearest the nucleus hold?
the first one can hold up to 2 electrons second can hold up to 8 electrons third can also hold up to 8 electrons and the last one can hold up to 18 electrons
How does the Bohr model of the atom relate to the Periodic Table?
The Bohr model of the atom places electrons in orbits or "shells." Elements in the first period only have electrons in the first shell. Elements in the second period have electrons in the first two shells. Elements in the third period have electrons in the first three shells, and so on.
Are electrons located in multiple shells around the nucleus?
Yes. the first shell has 2 electrons, and the next has 8, the one after has 8, and so on.
Where are the electrons found that are involved in ionic or covalent bonding?
Electrons are found in outer shells around the nucleus. The nucleus has protons and neutrons in it. The electrons are in shells or clouds around the nucleus. There are different numbers of electrons in each shell. The first one has two and the second one holds 8 electrons. An ionic bond will transfer electrons where a covalent bond will share electrons in the outer most orbital Hope it helps

How many core electrons are in an atom of phosphorus?
this depends on what you mean the "core". there is a nucleus in an atom which is the very centre where the protons and neutrons are but the electrons spin around the nucleus in shells. the first shell has a maximum of 2 the second, a maximum of a 8 and so on.
What is an atom shell?
electron shells are like the orbits of electrons around the protons and neutrons the atoms can have 1-3 shells
Who was the first person to describe the behavior of electrons as they move around the nucleus?
Niels Bohr
Each electron shell in an atom contains?
they contain electrons, which are negatively charged and revolve at high speed around the nucleus of an atom. the first shell (the one nearest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. the second shell can hold a maximun of 8 electrons. If there any remaining electrons they will go on the third shell. the third shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. the shells closest to the nucleus (inner shells) must contain their maximum number of electrons before attempting to fill the energy levels to a higher energy.
What term is used for the electrons in the outermost shell?
there called valence electrons
What is the region of space around the nucleus where an electron is to be found?
I'm pretty sure that this area is called the electron shell, and there are multiple shells depending on how many electrons the element has. The first shell can contain up to two electrons, and all subsequent shells can contain up to eight electrons, if I remember correctly. My science teacher said its called an electron cloud or something with cloud in the name
