Materials in which the electrons are loosely bound are called conductors.


What are organisms that do not have a membrane bound nucleus called?

Organisms that do not have membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus, are called Prokaryotic.


Does prokaryotic hold DNA?

Prokaryotes do have DNA, it just is not contained within a nucleus. It is loosely bound within the prokaryote.

Do the electrons of an atom have huge amounts of nuclear energy?

No, the electrons do not have nuclear energy, they are not part of the nucleus. They have binding energy which keeps them attached to the nucleus as part of the atom. When an electron is bound to an atom, it has a potential energy that is inversely proportional to its distance from the nucleus. This is measured by the amount of energy needed to unbind the electron from the atom, and is usually given in units of electronvolts (eV). In the quantum mechanical model, a bound electron can only occupy a set of states centered on the nucleus, and each state corresponds to a specific energy level. The lowest energy state of a bound electron is called the ground state, while an electron at a higher energy level is in an excited state. The binding energy of electrons is many orders of magnitude less than the binding energies in the nucleus, and atoms are easily ionised by stripping off electrons.


Where is the DNA stored in a cell?

In the Membrane bound nucleus


Why is Cs more electropositive than Rb?

The single outer electron is further away from the nucleus and thus is less tightly bound and thus it is energetically easier to remove that electron


What is the outer shell of an atom?

The outer shell is the valence electrons and they are very loosely bound to the nucleus - less force by the nucleus on the valence electrons, so valence shell's electrons are exchanged first in any reaction.


What are organisms whose cells lack membrane bound nucleus called?

A prokaryote is a single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus (karyon), mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organellesIt is the Eukarotes that have membrane-bound organelles.
