cause it does
Sr has a relatively low electron affinity. Electron affinity is the energy change when an atom gains an electron to form a negative ion, and for strontium, this energy change is lower compared to other elements.
yes, the potato would be the hgh energy electron
When an electron moves from a low energy state to a high energy state, it absorbs energy. This absorption of energy causes the electron to jump to a higher energy level or orbit further away from the nucleus. The electron is now in an excited state and can later release this energy in the form of light when it returns to a lower energy state.
Chlorine has a high electron affinity due to its tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. It also has a relatively low ionization energy, meaning it takes less energy to remove an electron from a chlorine atom compared to other elements.
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.
You tell me
beta particle
NAD
Sodium has a relatively low ionization energy, as it only requires a small amount of energy to remove an electron from a sodium atom. This is because sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, which makes it relatively easy to remove.
Depending on the energy (frequency) of the specific photon hitting the electron, one of three events happens: nothing, the electron is excited, or the electron leaves the atom. If the energy of the photon very high, the electron can absorb the energy and escape the nucleus' pull. This is called ionization. If the energy of the photon lines up with the energy spacing in the atoms energy levels, the electron will move to a higher energy state, becoming excited. The electron then returns to its original energy level, releasing the energy as light. If the energy of the photon does not fall into one of these categories, the electron does not interact with it. In terms of actually changing the electron, it only changes in energy, not any other property.
No, atoms with high ionization energy require more energy to remove an electron, making it difficult for them to lose an electron easily. The ionization energy is a measure of the stability of an atom and its tendency to lose an electron.
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
