Where is each subatomic particle located in a atom?
electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
Which subatomic particles cannot be found in the nucleus?
Electrons are found outside the nucleus in the electron cloud.
Where are electrons located in the nucleus?
The electrons are not in the nucleus, they are around the atom in a "probability cloud" due to heisenburgs uncertinty principle.
Which electrons have the most energy in the atom?
The electrons placed near the nucleus.
Why is it important that protons and electrons attract to each other?
The main reason that electrons and protons are dominant in matter is that these are stable particles and do not decay spontaneously. The neutron, which is unstable outside of a nucleus, is stable within the nucleus of an atom. The reason that the protons and neutrons are bound together is the strong nuclear force. The coulombic attraction between protons and electrons then binds the electrons to the nucleus to form an atom.
What is the strength of attraction between a nucleus and the outermost electrons?
The strength of attraction between a nucleus and the outermost electrons is determined by the electric charge of the nucleus (protons) and the distance between the nucleus and the electrons. This attraction is the basis for the force that holds atoms together and is essential for the stability of matter.
Why do force of attraction between nucleus and electrons decrease in alkali metal as increase in size?
As alkali metals increase in size, the distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus increases. The attraction between the electrons and the nucleus is electrostatic, and it is a fundamental property of electrostatic attractions that the attraction decreases with increasing distance between the attracting charges. Another way of describing this is that the attractive force is partially "screened" by the inner electrons between the outermost electrons and the nucleus.
Why does electron surround nucleus?
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom due to the attraction between the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus and the negative charge of the electrons. This electrostatic force of attraction keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus, maintaining the stability of the atom.
Why electrostatic forces exist between nucleus and outermost electrons?
Electrostatic forces between the nucleus and outermost electrons exist due to the attraction between opposite charges. The nucleus carries a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. This attraction keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus, creating stability within the atom.
The effect of inner electrons on the attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons of an atom is called?
electronegativity
What holds the atoms together in the respective bond?
Atoms are held together in chemical bonds by the attraction between the positively charged atomic nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, while in ionic bonds, one atom transfers electrons to another, resulting in attraction between oppositely charged ions. Hydrogen bonds are formed by the attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a partially negative atom in a neighboring molecule.
Why are valence electrons easier to remove from an atom than core electrons?
Valence electrons are further away from the nucleus and experience less attraction to the positively charged protons in the nucleus compared to core electrons. This makes valence electrons easier to remove from an atom. Core electrons are located closer to the nucleus and are more strongly attracted to the nucleus, requiring more energy to remove them from the atom.
Why are electrons attracted to the nucleus?
Electrons are attracted to the nucleus because of the electromagnetic force between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This force of attraction keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
Which properties of the elements are related to the attraction between the nucleus and electrons in atoms?
These are the chemical properties.
What is the valence electrons weakest attraction?
The valence electrons experience the weakest attraction to the nucleus in an atom. This is because they are the outermost electrons and are furthest from the positively charged nucleus, making their attraction relatively weaker compared to the inner electrons.
What keeps electrons moving around the nucleus?
Electrons move around the nucleus due to the attractive force between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This force, called electrostatic attraction, keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
Why do elements on the left side of the periodic give away electrons?
The attraction between the atomic nucleus and electrons is less strong.
