External forces can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to break free of their orbit. Conductors can increase the chances of this happening.
No, but the do orbit in a certain shell.
There are 1 to 3 electrons in outer orbit of a conductor witch the element wants to give away in order to have inner orbit complete at the cost of getting positive charge when forced by the electric voltage.If outer orbit have 4 electrons like carbon,silicon or germanium, it acts as a semiconductor. And if outer orbit have more than 5 electrons, it will resist electron flow.
Electrons orbit the nucleus. The nucleus is comprised of protons and neutrons.
Between protons and electrons.
The second orbit has 8 electrons.
13 electrons are in the third orbit of Manganese.
do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
In the 1st orbit, there are 2 electrons and in the 2nd orbit are 5 electrons.
electrons orbit the protons and neutrons
All atoms have electrons that orbit the nucleus, we are concerned with the outermost orbit. The outer orbit shell can have from 1 to 8 electrons. The fewer electrons an atom has in this orbit the better it is at conduction (one or two electrons, it is easy to knock one of the electrons out of orbit and pass to the next atom). The more electrons you have, the better it is at insulating. Nothing is a perfect insulator, if you apply enough voltage the electrons will move (current will flow). This is why the insulation on conductors have a voltage rating.
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.
Electrons generally orbit in ellipses.
no, the electrons orbit the nuclei .
External forces can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to break free of their orbit. Conductors can increase the chances of this happening.
Electrons orbit around the nucleus
