What else can I help you with?
Why does the phosphorus cycle occur slower than the carbon and nitrogen cycles?
Phosphorus, not found in the atmosphere like carbon and nitrogen, take a longer time to move through solids. Phosphorus cycles through sedimentary rock which takes a lot longer of a process.
How may electrons equal one proton?
In charge, spin, and strangeness; they are exactly equal. In mass, it would take about 1836 electrons to equal a proton.
Can neutrons cause static electricity?
No. The movement of electrons is what causes electricity, and neutrons take no part in it.
How long does it take for a woodlice to give birth?
i think it will take about two weeks
Why do halogens react so easily with Alkali Metals?
The electron configuration is why they react. The Alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell and to complete their outer shell need 7 more electrons. They can give, take or share electrons with other atoms. This is when the Halogens come in handy. The Halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, and need one more to complete the outer shell. These can react very easily because they have both the perfect amounts to fill their outer shells and become compounds. Other atoms with other amounts to become atoms not ions needs another element to react with. Hope this helps, Matt.
Do metals take electrons or give electrons to the atoms they bond with?
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
When reacting does uranium give or take electrons?
Uranium is a donor of electrons.
Does group 1 give or take valance electrons?
give
Does sodium chloride give or take electrons?
No
Do cations give or take electrons?
Cations are formed when an atom loses electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. Therefore, cations give away electrons rather than take them.
Why doesnt neon take or give electrons?
neon has completely filled orbitals, obeys octet and has stable electronic configuration. Hence it does not take or give electrons.
Do manganese give or take electrons?
Manganese can both give and take electrons. As a transition metal, manganese has variable oxidation states, ranging from +2 to +7, allowing it to both accept and donate electrons in chemical reactions.
Does carbon give or take electrons?
Carbon's electronic configuration is-2,4 and hence it has 4 electrons in the outer most shell. Therefore it is highly difficult for it to give electrons and highly difficult for it to be stable after gaining an additional 4 electrons. But Carbon does give and also take electrons under certain favourable conditions.
Does nitrogen give or take electrons?
Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 valance electrons, which tends to receive three electrons to complete it outer electron shell.
What are materials called that do not easily give up or take on electrons?
Thede are unreactive elements.
How many neutrons does phosphours have?
There are several isotopes of Phosphorus (P), all of which have 15 protons. Only one stable isotope exists in nature, having 16 neutrons. 31P has 16 neutrons 32P has 17 neutrons (synthesized radioisotope) 33P has 18 neutrons (synthesized radioisotope)
How many electrons does it take to fill up the third shell?
The third shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
