Best Answer

The energy of an electron which is (in a sense) revolving around the nucleus (it is actually distributed around the nucleus in the form of a cloud) depends upon how far it is from the nucleus, and also depends upon the number of protons in the nucleus. Nuclear physics is complicated.

Is total energy of revolving electron in an atom zero?

actually total energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy....potential energy= -2*kinetic energy . By using this relation you will get that sum of potential and kinetic energy is equal to the magnitude of kinetic energy and it is less than zero...hope this will be enough for you....

The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's?

Ionization Energy or electron energy


What part of the atom is able to be lost or gained?

the energy is require to remove an electron from an atom (ionization energy) but when electron is absorbed in an atom energy is released (electron affinity) however 2nd electron affinity is endothermic ,energy is require.


What parts of an atom has a negative charge?

The electron that are revolving around the atom in a fixed path is having negative charge.


What energy is required to remove an electron from an atom?

The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom (in the gaseous state) is called the IONIZATION ENERGY.


What is energy released on adding an electron to an isolated gas phase atom?

All electron shells represent an energy level - it doesn't matter if its the outermost shell or not. In order for there to be a release of energy the electron has to be coming from a higher energy state. The only energy state higher than the outer-most electron shell would be a free electron. The only way an electron becomes a free electron is that sufficient was provided to lift it from what-ever electron shell (energy level) it was previously in to escape velocity. The energy that it then releases in returning is then this exact same amount of energy.


What will be the total energy of atom having negative nucleus and positive electron?

This would be, by definition, antimatter. It would equal the total energy output of regular matter.


How does the electron's energy change as the orbit of the electron increases?

The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.

greater


What is the basic difference between electron affinity and electro negativity?

ok, so electron affinity is the amount of energy given off when a particular atom excepts electrons. Essentially, it is the likelihood that an atom will accept an electron, while ionization energy is how much energy is needed to take an electron off of a particular atom
