Which of these characteristics differentiates electrons from protons and neutrons?
Electrons are not in a fixed position.
The electron cloud model describes the of electrons in an atom?
The model is applied to movement and position of electrons in the atom.
What can you predict an element from it's position in the periodic table?
how many electrons it has---how many valence electrons and how many levels of electrons. its Atomic Mass its atomic number
What can you predict about an element from its position in the period table?
how many electrons it has---how many valence electrons and how many levels of electrons. its atomic mass its atomic number
How is the position of electrons involved in metallic bonding different from the position of electrons that form ionic and covalent bonds?
the electrons involved in metallic bonding are delocalised - they are free to move which accounts for electrical conductivity. In ionic bonds the electrons are tightly bound to individual atoms. Generally covalent bonds have localised electrons, in pairs in individual bonds. However there are delocalised electrons in some situations - take graphite extensive pi bonds allow for delocalisation and electrical conductivity.
How does an elements position on the periodic table determine the type of reaction it will be involved in?
Octet means that there are 8 electrons and its neutral. Electrons will bond to get a full octet.
What can a magnet make electrons do?
Magnets can make electrons accelerate and change position through force;f= evB = -ev.Bcos(vB) + evxBsin(vB).
In the quantum mechanical view of the atom electrons are confined to charge clouds called orbitals?
The answer would be an electrons position cannot be known precisely.
How many valence electrons are there for calcium?
2, as indicated by its position in periodic column 2.
What single characteristic of the atom of an elements determines the elements place in the periodic table?
The number of electrons determines an element's position.
Which energy position do electrons generally want to be in?
Their lowest possible energy state, called the "ground state".
How many electrons are in zirconium?
Zirconium is No. 40 in the Periodic Table. The '40' tells us the position of zirconium in the table, the number of protons in an atom , and the number of electrons in a neutrally charged atom. So the answer to you question is '40'.
