What subatomic particles makes an element reactive?
Electrons are the subatomic particles that make an element reactive. Elements react with one another by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons to attain a more stable electron configuration.
Describe 3 stable subatomic particles?
Electrons are stable subatomic particles with a negative charge found in the electron cloud of an atom. Neutrons are stable subatomic particles with no charge found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons are stable subatomic particles with a positive charge found in the nucleus of an atom.
As you move across the periodic table for left to right each element gains one proton and one?
Electron. In a stable element the number of protons (+ charged subatomic particles) must match the number of electrons (- charged subatomic particles) and neutrons (neutral or uncharged subatomic particles). At least that's how I remember it from my school days.
What matter is in an element?
The only matter in a stable element is at least one of each of the two stable electrically charged subatomic particles, protons and electrons, and except for an atom of the isotope hydrogen-1, at least one neutron, the uncharged stable subatomic particle. The numbers of protons and electrons must be the same. Artificial elements may contain other subatomic particles such as positrons. (The subatomic particles themselves are considered to be composed of quarks, which could be called sub-subatomic particles, but quarks are not usually considered to be matter since they can not exist in isolation for more than very small fractions of a second.)
What is the number of subatomic particles in sulfur?
Sulfur has 16 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope: Number of neutrons in a sulfur isotope = Mass number - 16
What are the subatomic particles for zirconium?
Zirconium has 40 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a zirconium isotope = Mass number - 40
How many subatomic particles are in the element xenon?
The "subatomic" particles in atoms are usually considered to be only protons, neutrons, and electrons, although these may contain sub-subatomic particles such as quarks and gluons. Every atom of xenon contains 54 protons and 54 electrons, because 54 is the atomic number of xenon. Every atom of xenon also contains neutrons. The lightest naturally occurring and radioactively stable isotope of xenon is Xe-124. Since the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, the total of protons, electrons, and neutrons for this isotope is 124 + 54 or 178. The number of particles for any other isotope of xenon may be found by adding the mass number to the atomic number.
Which subatomic particles can't change?
Neutrons are stable subatomic particles and do not decay or change into other particles under normal conditions. However, electrons do not undergo nuclear decay but can change in energy levels within an atom.
What are subatomic particles in chemistry?
since you said chemistry this should be the answer, the one i have in mind.. in an atom there are protons and neutrons in the middle or nucleus, fling around that are electrons. protons, neutrons, and electrons are subatomic particles (makes the atom stable when it's the same number of all three. google it!
How many subatomic particles does krypton have?
Protons 36 Neutrons 48 (for the most stable isotope, Kr-84) Electrons 36
What is meant by a radioactive element?
A radioactive element is an element with an unstable nucleus that emits radiation as it decays into a more stable form. This radiation can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Radiation emitted by radioactive elements can pose health risks and is used in various applications such as medical imaging and energy production.
When an element has the same number of protons and electrons the element is a?
the element is stable.
