What is the number of protons or electron called?
The atomic number, or Z, is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. This is what determines what element an atom is. A link can be found below.
What energy is needed to remove an electron from its outer most shell?
This is called the ionization energy and an is different for each electron in the atom. Electrons in the outer shell (furthest from the nucleus) have the lowest ionization energy, electrons in the innermost shell (closest to the nucleus) have the highest ionization energy.
What element do you call that loses or gains electrons?
It is not always easy to tell whether an atom will lose or gain an electron in a reaction. However, this is a general rule that applies in many cases. Simply put, the atom with the higher electronegativity will gain an electron and the atom will a lower electronegativity will lose an electron.
What is the electron dot diagram for HOCN?
This is a structural formula, making the electron dot structure easy to draw. We begin from the left, with two H atoms attached to a C atom. This C atom is double bonded to another C atom. That second C atom has one H attached, and another single bond to another C atom. Finally, the last C atom is triple bonded to the Nitrogen.
The neutron is a partical that has no charge?
Neutrons have no charge, because they are neutral. This means they have no charge at all, and their mass is also negligible, unlike Protons and Electrons. A Proton has a positive charge - 'P' for 'positive' - and an Electron has a negative charge. An easy way to remember these: 'N' for Neutral, 'P' for Positive. Since the only other atom is an Electron, it should be simple to remember.
Is copper the best conductor?
because copper atom has one electron in outer shell and easy to to energize to flow to other copper atom we now that the rate of flow of electron is current
If an atom has one valence electron what will it form?
The positive ion, the one that took the electrons, should have a full shell while, the negative ion, the one that lost the electrons, should have an empty shell.
What factor makes it easy for sodium to loose its outermost electron?
This electron is the only one in a new outermost electron shell as you progress through the periodic table. So it is relatively easy for it to hop off and join to a Chlorine atom, for example, which is one short of a completed shell. So it's good in forming ionic compounds,
The electron-containing main energy level with the highest principal quantum number is the atom's?
highest occupied levelread the book, it is in bold and extremely easy to find.
How do you draw an electron-dot diagram for ammonia?
It is very easy. Take a nitrogen atom at center. Draw 5 valence electrons around it (keep two of them in pairs). Now take 3 hydrogen atoms in front of every free electron. Draw the electron of each hydrogen atom. Click Here to see the diagram I have drawn using using MS Paint.

When a cesium atom forms an ion will?
When cesium forms an ion, it loses 1 electron to form the Cs+ cation. This is very easy for cesium to do because of its very low electronegativity, which is a measure of the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons.

Atoms of what elements will become most stable by gaining one electron?
Look here's the easy way. Look at the outer most valence shell. Is it filled? No? Will adding an electron fill it? If yes, then losing the outer most valence shell's electron will make the the atom a cation/positive charge.
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of a sodium atom?
There's only one. Because of this it is very easy for sodium to lose that one electron so that it can have a full electron shell like that of neon. Sodium's first shell has two electrons, and it's second shell has 8 electrons.
Why does copper conduct electricity so well?
== == Electricity is the flow of electrons. Electrons move from one atom to the next adjacent atom. Electrons exist within shells at different distances from the nucleus of the atom. Copper has only one electron in it's outermost shell and therefore it is easy to strip the electron away and move it to the next atom, which simultaneously sheds it's electron. In addition, copper is very dense, meaning that the atoms are very compact...or close together to allow this transfer more freely.
What is the electron chain?
The electron transport chain in the mitochondrion is the site of oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryotes. Easy huh?
