What are the spheres surrounding the nucleus that contains an atom's electrons?

∙ 12y ago
The spheres surrounding the nucleus of an atom are called protons and neutrons, protons hold the electrons in orbit around the nucleus because a proton has a positive charge which attracts the electron which has a negative charge causing electromagnetic force which holds the electron in orbit. The neutron determines the isotope of the atom but has a neutral charge.

The bohr model is used to illustrate the arrangement of?
Electrons were placed on different orbits around the atomic nucleus.
Which of the earth's spheres contains its landforms?
lithosphere
The greek astronomers explanation for the celestial spheres did not encompass the phenomenon?
The Greek astronomer's explanation for the celestial spheres did not encompass the phenomenon of retrograde motion. The retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet to move in the opposite direction from the surrounding planetary bodies in the same system.
Explain 2 features of bacteria?
1.they do not have a nucleus or organelles 2. they are prokaryotic cells that absorb nutrients from the environment or produce their own nutrients, through light energy or other processes.
How can you make a 3d model of a lithium atom?
lithium atom is just a ball it has 1s and 2s orbitals both of which are spheres the 1s is occupied by two electrons and the 2s one electron
What do the orange and yellow spheres represent in a model of an atomic nucleus?
These spheres are protons and neutrons.
The bohr model is used to illustrate the arrangement of?
Electrons were placed on different orbits around the atomic nucleus.
What happens when you try to draw an atom?
It is difficult to draw atoms realistically, other than as featureless spheres, which is then not a very informative illustration. The orbit of an electron is not the same as the orbit of a planet, they are not little balls circling around a larger ball in the center. Electrons form shells, they spread themselves out into hollow spheres. They have no fixed shape, but they respond to the electromagnetic forces that act upon them. It is more accurate to say that electrons surround a nucleus, than to say that they orbit a nucleus. But when we draw pictures, we usually draw atoms as if they were miniature solar systems, with little round electrons orbiting the nucleus. And that is not very accurate.
Where inside the electron cloud would you find an electron?
the electrons just bounce around the electron clouds freely. think about 2 spheres, a small one suspended inside a bigger one. the smaller one is the nucleus, and the big one is the cloud. the electrons just bounce around in the space between the nucleus and the cloud
Which of the earth's spheres contains its landforms?
lithosphere
Which of Earth's spheres consists of the layer of gases surrounding our planet?
The "atmosphere".
How do the Bohr model and the quantum mechanical model of the atom differ in how they describe electrons?
the bohr model suggests that electrons follow orbits around the nucleus. Quantum mechanics describes electrons differently and gives them different properties. It tells us where an electron is most likely to be found but no defined path of motion around the nucleus
What kind of cell has no nucleus but has a cell wall and shapes like spheres rods and spirals?
DNA. DNA.
What shows the development of atomic models in chronological order?
The development of atomic models in chronological order is as follows: Atoms are solid spheres. Atoms have electrons attached to their surface. Electrons move around nucleus at specific energy levels. Rapid motion of electrons around nucleus in a cloud.
How did john dalton ivent atomic theory?
He simply proposed that the 'indivisible' parts of masses, known as atoms, were tiny spheres. He did no experiments to test this, but future physicists would begin to show interest in this theory and begin to evolve it further. Now, our current theory is that atoms are composed of a nucleus(where there are protons and neutrons), and energy shells(where electrons orbit the nucleus at incredibly high speeds).
Examples of charge by induction?
An example of an induction charging of two metal spheres. The metal spheres are supported by insulating stands so that any charge acquired by the spheres cannot travel to the ground. The spheres are placed side by side (see diagram i. below) so as to form a two-sphere system. Being made of metal (a conductor), electrons are free to move between the spheres - from sphere A to sphere B and vice versa.
The greek astronomers explanation for the celestial spheres did not encompass the phenomenon?
The Greek astronomer's explanation for the celestial spheres did not encompass the phenomenon of retrograde motion. The retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet to move in the opposite direction from the surrounding planetary bodies in the same system.
