What is the speed of electron in shell?
speed of electrons varies from shell to shell . it increases from inner orbit to outer orbit
Where is the location of electrons in an atom?
Electrons are located outside the nucleus revolving around. These electrons may be named as Chemistry electrons. But when neutron within the nucleus decay, then proton and electron are produced. This electron was not already there in the nucleus. But only due to decay of neutron electron comes out. This electron may be named as Physics electron. This electron comes out at very speed and this is sensed as beta particle, named by Henry Becquerel.
Is an electric current a movement of electrons at near the speed of light?
No. The current travels near the speed of light; the individual electrons don't. Rather, energy is transferred from one electron to the next.
What moves at a high speed around nucleus of an atom?
This particle is the electron moving in it's orbital " around " the nucleus.
If an electron is released at the negative pole of a 12v car battery what happens to it?
It will move following a random walk due to collisions with atoms and other electrons at a speed of roughly 1 mm per hour through the car's wiring and circuits towards the positive pole of the battery.Note that the speed of the individual electrons and the speed of electric current are totally different, the electric current moves at a speed approaching that of light.
Is electron a valence electron or a outer electron?
an electron is a wavelength of energy that orbits a nucleus at the speed of light in an orbital where only one other electron can exist with an opposite spin, the electons in the orbitals in the outermost energy levels are valence electrons. ex: C= 1s^2 2s^2 2p^2 (the second energy level ((the outermost in this example)) contains a total of 4 electrons or its valence electrons)
Do electrons go really fast?
The speed of electrons vary, according to charge or voltage. But most electrons travel just under the speed of light. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per sec. meaning an electron could completely circle the Earth 7 times in 1 second. That is fast.
Do electrons lose energy or speed when they cross over a resistor?
You won't like the answer....but electrons are charge carriers and neither their speed nor their energy has much to do with what happens within an electric circuit.
What is the region around the nucleus where electrons are?
The electron cloud. An electron cloud is a volume or region in the atom where it is likely to find or detect an electron. It is actually really hard to detect an electron because an atom is mostly empty space, electrons are orbiting the nucleus at almost the speed of light so they orbit really fast, the electrons are very tiny and may be point like since we don't really know the volume or size of the electron, and an atom in reality is 3 dimensional which the electron cloud and orbitals is 3 dimensional. Since electrons are so hard to detect then they would call this volume or region of the atom an electron cloud because the electron cloud is a volume or region where they know that electrons are likely to be there even if they are hard to find. Or maybe the electron cloud is where they can also know the different sub- orbitals or subshells of the electrons.
What happens when electron move from one object to another by direct speed?
It isn't quite clear what you mean with "direct speed". Any time an object moves, it has speed.
How does electrons move?
Each electron actually moves very slowly by itself, though in a huge line of trillions of electrons, they move very close to the speed of light. They move in a effect like dominoes. The electron in the very back nudges the one in front of it a bit, but almost instantly, the electron in the front moves.
Electrons move at the speed of light through conductors?
No. Three types of speed must be distinguished here: 1. The random movement of electrons is pretty fast, but still only a fraction of the speed of light. They will have this movement, whether there is a current or not. 2. The drift velocity is the average velocity of electrons when there is a current. This velocity is typically a fraction of a millimeter per second. 3. The velocity of the electric signal itself is typically about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum (that is, about 200,000 km/sec). What happens here is that energy is transferred from one electron to another. Imagine one electron bumping into another and pushing it forwards.
