What else can I help you with?
The electrons found in an atoms outeer shell are often called electrons?
Valance electrons.
In metallic bonds where are the electrons found?
In metallic bonds, electrons are delocalized and free to move throughout the structure of the metal. They are not bound to a specific atom and instead contribute to the overall bonding and properties of the metal.
Hot gases containing charged and uncharged atoms and free electrons is?
Plasma. Plasma is a state of matter in which atoms are stripped of their electrons, creating a mix of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. It is often found at high temperatures, such as in stars, lightning, and some industrial processes.
What is the high energy state of matter in which the electrons and nucleus of each atom have separated called?
The high energy state of matter in which the electrons and nucleus of each atom have separated is called plasma. Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter and is composed of charged particles due to the separation of electrons from their atoms.
Regions outside the nucleus of the atom occupied by electrons?
Electrons are found in specific energy levels or orbitals outside the nucleus of an atom. These regions are often represented as electron clouds or shells. Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on the atom's configuration.
What gives an element its unique physical properties?
The electrons specifically the outermost electrons determines the chemical properties. These are often called the valence electrons. The radioactivity of a particular isotope is determined by the nuclear composition in terms of protons and neutrons.
Which electrons are involved in bonding'?
At times the electrons involved in bonding are shared equally between the nuclei of two atoms and the bond is called a pure covalent bond. More often, however, the sharing is unequal and the electrons spend more time around the nucleus
What are electron regions called?
around the nucleous
Plasma consists mostly of?
Plasma consists mostly of ions and electrons. It is a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their electrons, resulting in a mixture of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. Plasma is often found in stars, lightning, and neon lights.
What does electronegative and electropositive mean?
Electronegativity is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract electrons.An atom with a higher electronegativity number will attract more electrons towards it.Electropositivity is the opposite - so an atoms ability to donate electrons and form positive (or partially positive) ions.
Atoms like sodium and lithium often lose electrons, which makes them?
The kind of atom that likes to be oxidized.
If a chemical compound becomes oxidized it?
loses electrons, increasing its oxidation state and potentially changing its chemical properties, such as color or reactivity. This process often involves the loss of hydrogen atoms or the gain of oxygen atoms.
