What is the center of the atom?
The center of an atom is a nucleus. In the center of the nucleus, there is protons and neutrons. Around the atom, is the shell. Using the shell, as an orbit is the electron.
Which subatomic particle determines the behavior of an element?
The electron shell is the source of an element's chemical properties and the moderator of chemical reactions; the electron shell depends on the protons that constitute the atom
Why can an atom lose electrons easily?
Atoms do not always lose electrons. Electrons can be gained too. Atoms always try to have their outer most shell filled, and some atoms such as ones of potassium can easily lose an electron rather than gain an electron. So it would lose an electron to a different atom so that it would have a full outer shell and the other atom would also have a full outer shell.
What is k edge absorption?
In science and physics, k-edge absorption is when the shell of an electron in that atom cannot eject the K shell electron. This typically occurs when there is too many photons occurring at once.
What is the difference between electron cloud and electron dot diagram?
Actually the terms orbitals and shells are NOT interchangeable. The electron shell refers to the distance away from the nucleus, with each addition of a shell adding more possibilities for electron placement. The orbitals are actually within each shell. This is proven through the fact that the shells and orbital capacities are not the same. For example, the first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second shell can hold 8, and the third shell can hold 18. The first orbital, s, can hold 2 electrons. The second orbital, p, can hold 6 electrons. The third oribital, d, can hold 10 electrons; therefore not being the same as the shells.
When compared with the energy of an electron in th first shell of a carbon atom the energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is?
greater
What is the electron arrangement in a boron atom?
2 electrons in the first shell then 3 electrons in the second shell
Which statement describes the relative energy of electrons in the shells of a calcium atom?
An electron in the third shell has more energy than the electron in the second shell.
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
How many inner shell electrons in chlorine?
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
How many electrons can go in the first second and third shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 while the third shell can also hold a maximum of 8.
Can an electron jump from sixth shell to second shell?
yes. in the case of hydrogen atom jumping of an electron from 6th level to 2nd level cause balmer series
How many electrons are there in the third noble gas shell of sodium atom Na atomic number 11?
The sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons. The electron configuration of sodium is 2-8-1. The third noble gas shell is the second energy level or shell, which can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the third noble gas shell of sodium is 1.
How many electrons are in the first shell of a oxygen atom?
The electron configuration of an oxygen atom is (2, 6). Meaning it has 2 electrons in its first shell and 6 in its second.The energy levels of atoms are limited to how many electrons they can hold.The first energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons the second has a maximum of 8 and the third has a maximum of 18 etc.Hope this Helps!
Where are the electrons that possess the least amount of energy located in a calcium atom in the ground state?
An electron in the third shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell.
How many electrons can the first electron cloud hold?
Your question is a bit vague, but if you are enquiring about the first electron shell in an atom, it holds a maximum of two electrons.
What is the maximum number of electron shells in an atom?
the number of electons found in each shell can be found by 2 n squared 1 shell would have 2 electrons
