2 electrons are held closest to the nucleus, after that the maximum per shell is eight.
Core electrons are the inner electrons of an atom that are tightly held by the nucleus and are not involved in chemical reactions. These electrons are typically found in filled electron shells closer to the nucleus.
The atomic nucleus doesn't contain electrons.
In a electrically neutral atom, the number of positive charges in the atom's nucleus (with one charge being held on each proton in the nucleus), is balanced out by the number of negative charges present in the electron cloud round the nucleus (with one charge being held on each electron in the cloud). This means that in a neutral atom the number of Protons = the number of Electrons.
My mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!
electrostatic force between the nucleus and the electrons.
The orbit or electron shell closest to the nucleus is the 1s sub-shell. It can hold 2 electrons before the 2s sub-shell is filled. H and He have their electrons in this shell (the 1s)
A covalent bond is held together by the attractions between the protons in the nucleus and shared electrons.
Electrons do not crash into the nucleus because they are constantly in motion and are held in orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. This force keeps the electrons at a certain distance from the nucleus, preventing them from colliding with it.
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
Electrons are held within the atom by the attraction between their negative charge and the positive charge of the nucleus. This attraction, known as the electromagnetic force, keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Electrons held loosely can lead to a material exhibiting good electrical conductivity since they are free to move in response to an applied voltage. This is seen in metals where the valence electrons are not strongly bound to the atomic nucleus.
the electrons on the last shell of an atom are called valency electrons.
