What kind of basic force pulls electrons close to the atomic nucleus?
The electric force pulls electrons close to the atomic nucleus. The protons in the nucleus have a positive charge, and so attract the negatively charged electrons.
Which part flows freely aroud the nucleus?
Electrons flow around the nucleus
The part of an atom orbits the nucleus?
Electrons orbit the nucleus. The nucleus is comprised of protons and neutrons.
Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
Where are the electrons located in Bohr's atomic model?
In this model, the electrons move or orbit around the protons that are at the center of the atom. Electrons move around the nucleus, which contains the proton, in orbits that have a definite size and energy.
What kind of basic force pulls electrons close to the atomic nucleus?
The electric force pulls electrons close to the atomic nucleus. The protons in the nucleus have a positive charge, and so attract the negatively charged electrons.
Why is it easier to remove an electron from bromine then it is to remove an electron from fluorine?
The reason why fluorine has a higher ionization energy level than oxygen is because it is closer to the nucleus than is oxygen, therefore, it will take more energy to pull electrons from the nucleus.
What does the nucleus of one atom want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
The nucleus of one atom wants to attract or pull the electrons of a nearby atom towards itself. This attraction is due to the opposite charges of the protons in the nucleus and the electrons.
Which best explains why cations are smaller than atoms from which they are formed?
A cation has had electrons removed. So, although cations and their parent atoms have the same number of protons in the nucleus they have a different number (lower) of electrons. This means the same number of protons pulls the smaller number of electrons closer to the nucleus and so the remaining electrons are more tightly bound by the nucleus and hence the reduction in size.
Why do electrons keep moving around the nucleus of the atom and not fly away?
Since the electrons are negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged due to presence of protons, they attracted towards each other by the electrostatic force of attraction and thus electrons keep revolving around the nucleus and do not run away
Does electrons make up an atom nucleus?
No, the electrons are around the nucleus, not in the nucleus.
Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.
What particles might be found in shells around a nucleus?
The particles found in the area surrounding the nucleus are called electrons. Electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but are repelled from other electrons. This is why they can be found orbiting the nucleus.
The outer electaons are attracted to the nucleus by a force stronger than the inner shell eclectrons?
No. The outer shell (valence) electrons are not attracted towards the nucleus as strongly as are the inner (core) electrons. This is why they could be traded in and out during chemical reactions, while the core electrons normally could not.
Where is the subatomic particles located?
Protons and neutrons are in the center of an atom in the nucleus. Electrons are dispersed around the nucleus.
Are electrons next to the nucleus?
No, electrons are around nucleus but at a great distance.
Do all atom nucleus have electrons?
All atoms have electrons, but not in the nucleus.
