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.
Why does electrons move around the nucleus and not away from atom?
Electrons are negatively charge and are attracted to the positively charged Protons in the nucleus of the atom
Where the protons neutrons and electrons are in an atom?
In an atom- the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus(aproximately centre) which makes the middle positively charged. The electrons are around the nucleus. The electrons are attracted to the nucleus because the nucleus is positively charged.
In a metallic bond the nucleus of one atom is attracted by a near by atom's what?
electrons
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.
What are the locations of proton electron and neutron?
In an atom- the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus(centre) which makes the middle positively charged. The electrons are around the nucleus. The electrons are attracted to the nucleus because the nucleus is positively charged.
During the movement of electrons from ground state to higher state level is there any possibility of electrons get attracted to protons?
Electrons are always attracted to protons, no matter what state they are in. They may move closer or further away from the nucleus depending on what state they are in, but they are always attracted.
Why do the electrons surround the atom?
Electrons are electrically-charged particles. Specifically, they carry a negative charge. Electrons are attracted to the nucleus which contains positively charged protons.
What holds electrons in their shells?
The electrons "orbit" the nucleus of an atom. They do so because they are attracted to the positive charge of the protons inside the nucleus. They do not usually leave the atom because of this attraction, and do not usually fall into the nucleus because they are moving.
Why not oll electrons free electrons?
Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore they are attracted to a positive charge such as an atomic nucleus so becomes locked in an electron shell of the atom.
How many electrons in covalent bonds are attracted to the nucleus of just one atom?
No electrons are "attached" to the nucleus of either atom. In a covalent bond one electron from each atom is shared with the other atom.
What prevents the electrons that orbit an atom's nucleus at high speeds from breaking away from the nucleus due to centrifugal force?
The electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus.
