Why Halogens are nonconductors of electricity?
Halogens have 7 electrons in last orbit. They disparately want one electron to fill there last orbit. So they will simply hold the electrons tightly and as you know, for electricity to flow there should be free electrons. They will not give electrons so easily as metals do, who wants to get rid of extra electron/electrons to fill there outer orbit. If very high voltage is applied halogens may be forced to conduct electricity and Nobel gases will give up before halogens, when forced to conduct electricity.
What Can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to become free of their orbit?
External forces can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to break free of their orbit. Conductors can increase the chances of this happening.
Do electrons travel in orbits?
No, but the do orbit in a certain shell.
What causes electrons to flow through a conductor?
There are 1 to 3 electrons in outer orbit of a conductor witch the element wants to give away in order to have inner orbit complete at the cost of getting positive charge when forced by the electric voltage.If outer orbit have 4 electrons like carbon,silicon or germanium, it acts as a semiconductor. And if outer orbit have more than 5 electrons, it will resist electron flow.
The part of an atom orbits the nucleus?
Electrons orbit the nucleus. The nucleus is comprised of protons and neutrons.
What is valency of chloride?
single valency. last orbit has 7 electrons.
How many electrons are in the second orbit of sodium?
The second orbit has 8 electrons.
How many electrons are in the third orbit of manganese?
13 electrons are in the third orbit of Manganese.
How many electrons are in the last orbit of Chlorine?
In the last orbit of Chlorine includes 7 electrons.Name: Chlorine Symbol: ClAtomic Number: 17Atomic Mass: 35.4527 amuNumber of Protons/Electrons: 17Number of Neutrons: 18
Why don't electrons orbit around the atoms nucleus like planets orbit the sun?
do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?

What is the number of electrons that can be held in the frist orbit?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
What is the Bohr-Rutherford diagram of nitrogen?
In the 1st orbit, there are 2 electrons and in the 2nd orbit are 5 electrons.
How an insulator work?
All atoms have electrons that orbit the nucleus, we are concerned with the outermost orbit. The outer orbit shell can have from 1 to 8 electrons. The fewer electrons an atom has in this orbit the better it is at conduction (one or two electrons, it is easy to knock one of the electrons out of orbit and pass to the next atom). The more electrons you have, the better it is at insulating. Nothing is a perfect insulator, if you apply enough voltage the electrons will move (current will flow). This is why the insulation on conductors have a voltage rating.
In an atom orbit the nucleus?
electrons orbit the protons and neutrons
What do electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in?
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.
Shapes of orbits of electrons?
Electrons generally orbit in ellipses.
