In the atomic model, the electrons exist in discrete orbitals or energy levels around the outside of the nucleus, sometimes referred to as shells, concentric to the nucleus. Rather than identifying a specific location for an electron in an atom at any given moment, they are often represented with a probability distribution resembling a cloud, indicating the likelihood they will be in a collection of given loci whose shape is determined by the orbital type: some are spherical, others are lobed or doughnut-shaped.

What is an atom name that is made of a proton a neutron and an electron?
It is the atom of deuterium. Its nucleus is composed of a proton and one neutron. The atom has one electron that is orbiting around the nucleus.
How many electron shells does gold atom have?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
What is the region of electrons?
The electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud.
What is the technical term for a molecule gains an electron?
It depends on which way it "lost" its electron. Ionization is the word for a charged atom, such as that of an atom which has lost or received an electron. Both Na+ and Cl- are ions and the sodium ion is the one who has lost an electron, while the chloride ion on the other hand has gained an electron.
What are shells of electrons?
The electron shell is an energy level represented as the distance of an electron from the nucleus of the atom
What is the name of the part of an atom that has little mass a negative charge and exist in a cloudlike region surrounding the nucleus?
electron.
What is a single negative electric charge that contributes virtually no mass to an atom?
electron ,Believe it is called a FREE electron. Because it is not internally bound to the nucleolus of the atom. in a conductive material , like copper, they are free to drift from one atom to another. if it was not for free electron's ,electricty(current) could not exist.
The radius of an atom extends to the outer edge of the what?
The radius of an atom extends to the outer edge of its electron cloud, which is the region where electrons are most likely to be found in. The electron cloud represents the volume of space where electrons can exist around the nucleus of an atom.
Does Fluorine Form Molecules or Crystal lattices or exist as a single atom?
Fluorine typically forms molecules by bonding with itself (F2). Each fluorine atom shares one electron with another atom to complete its outer electron shell. This results in a diatomic molecule, rather than existing as single atoms or crystal lattices.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
Does hydrogen have a positive electiric charge or not?
Hydrogen can exist as a positively charged ion (H+) when it loses its electron, or as a neutral atom with no net charge when it has one electron and one proton.
Is an electron in a hydrogen atom the same as an electron in a uranium atom?
yes
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
How many unpaired electrons are in the outer electron shell of chlorine?
The electronic configuration for Cl atom is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. It has one unpaired electron in the 3p shell, thus it is a free radical and very reactive. Hence chlorine does not exist in its atomic state as a Cl atom as it is too unstable.
What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
Where are the negatively charged particles within an atom?
The electrons, are the negatively charged particles that are part of an atom. They hang out in what is called an electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom. We might further say that those electrons exist in what we term electron shells, and within energy levels within those shells.
