Does the electron cloud determine the size of the atom?
More or less, but all atoms are about the same size as each other. You would think that heavy atoms, with many electrons, would be much larger, but they aren’t. The reason is that large atoms have large nuclei with many protons. These exert a strong force on theelectrons, pulling them in closer. So even though there are more electrons in large atoms, they arepulled in closer, leaving the overall size of the heavy atoms the same as for light ones.
The atoms of the most active non-metals have?
large atomic radii and low ionization energies
What makes an element unstable or radioactive?
The stability of an atom depends on a balance between the numbers of protons and neutrons in its nucleus and also on the total size of its nucleus; atoms with sufficiently large nuclei are inherently unstable. Please see the link.
One reason that carbon atoms form large numbers of compounds is that a carbon atom forms?
One reason that carbon atoms can form large numbers of compounds is that a carbon atom forms four bonds in its compounds.
Explain why atomic radius generally decreases as you go left to right across a row on the periodic table?
As you move from left to right across the Periodic Table, the number of protons in the nucleus of each successive atom increases by one. Correspondingly, the number of electrons also increases by one. However, if the elements in question are on the same energy level, the added ''pull" of the protons serves to pull the orbiting electrons closer to the nucleus, thus causing the radius of the atom to become smalller as you move from left to right. As you move down the periodic table, atoms get larger. As you move down the table, you continue to add protons and electrons. However, you also add energy levels and, in so doing, the orbiting (and available) electrons get further from the nucleus and the pull of the protons. It is the distance between protons and available electrons that allows the radius of the atoms to get larger. It also explains why reactivity increases as you go down the table. The pull of protons on the available electrons of small atoms is much greater than the pull of protons on the available electrons of large atoms, so the large atoms release their electrons much more readily.
Why do you think that atoms have neutrons?
The nucleus of an atom is held together by the strong force, to which both protons and neutrons contribute. The problem is that protons also contribute to the electromagnetic force, which repulses the protons from each other. The strong force has a much smaller range than the electromagnetic force, so in large atoms, protons only receive the attractive strong force from the protons around it while receiving the repulsive electromagnetic force from all of the protons in the nucleus. This is why large atoms tend to be unstable, and where neutrons come in. Neutrons add to the attractive strong force while having no charge that would add to the repulsive electromagnetic force. Without neutrons, the larger atoms could not stay together, their nuclei would be destroyed.

What are 2 nuclear reactions?
The two main categories are (1) fusion: joining small atoms into larger atoms, such as hydrogen-1 into helium-4, and (2) fission, the splitting of certain large atoms, such as U-235.The two main categories are (1) fusion: joining small atoms into larger atoms, such as hydrogen-1 into helium-4, and (2) fission, the splitting of certain large atoms, such as U-235.The two main categories are (1) fusion: joining small atoms into larger atoms, such as hydrogen-1 into helium-4, and (2) fission, the splitting of certain large atoms, such as U-235.The two main categories are (1) fusion: joining small atoms into larger atoms, such as hydrogen-1 into helium-4, and (2) fission, the splitting of certain large atoms, such as U-235.
What do atoms contain one or more of?
Well, in a rather large nutshell, atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Simple! I learned in a short explanation. Thanks!
Is the largest prime number larger than the number of atoms in the universe?
Yes. There are infinitely many prime numbers so that the largest prime number is infiitely large. The current understanding of the universe suggests that it is finite, and therefore the number of atoms must be smaller.

How big is the nucleas of an atom?
Of course, as atoms are tiny the nucleus is even smaller, but it depends on the atom. Some atoms have large protons and neutons in the nucleus, others smaller ones.

Immigrants were encouraged to vote in large numbers in the northern cities.

What you made up of an atom?
Atoms are made up of 3 types of particles electrons, protons and neutrons . These particles have different properties. Electrons are tiny, very light particles that have a negative electrical charge (-). Protons are much larger and heavier than electrons and have the opposite charge, protons have a positive charge. Neutrons are large and heavy like protons, however neutrons have no electrical charge. Each atom is made up of a combination of these particles.
