What charges are carried by protons electrons and neutons?
name content charge mass location protons 2up 1down 1+ ~1amu nucleus neurtons 1up 2down 0 ~1amu nucleus electrons is fundemental 1- 1/2000 amu elecron clould
Are the elements oxygen and the element hydrogen made from the same of atom?
No. A Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron with the electron arrangement 1. An Oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons with the elecron arrangement 2. 6.
Into what four blocks can the periodic table be divided to illustrate the ralationship between the elements' elecron configurations and their placement in the periodic table?
Into the SPDF blocks. so groups 1 and 2 are S Groups 3-12 are D Groups 13-18 are P (except He, He is 2s) and the lanthanides and actinides are F
Does a nitrogen molecule form a polar bond?
No, the triple N-N bonds must be all covalent because there is no difference in elecron attraction (electro-negativity) between the one and the other N atom (All elemental atoms of one kind have the same chemical properties, only the mass can be different (in the case of isotopes)).
How are electrons distributed within the electron shells of an atom?
An electron shell may be crudely thought of as an orbit followed by electrons around an atom's nucleus. It must be emphasised that this crude model has been superseded by quantum theory in specifying the electron behaviour. However it did give an understanding of how the atoms of the periodic table are configured. The electron shells are labelled K, L, M, N,O,P, and Q, moving outwards from the nucleus. Each shell is composed of subshells labelled s,p,d, and f. The K shell has one subshell, the s. The L shell has two subshells, s and p. the M shell has three subshells s,p, and d. The N shell has four subshells, s,p,d, and f.Further rules apply: each s subshell can hold up to two electrons, each p subshell up to six, each d subshell up to ten, and each f subshell up to fourteen.Thus the overall effect is: K shell can contain up to two electrons, L shell up to eight, M shell up to eighteen, and N shell up to thirty two. Subsequent shells can hold up to thirty two, no known element has more than 32 electrons in any one shell.This model of the atom is generally called the Bohr model after the physicist ,who developed the model in the 1920's.The reasons for this electron configuration are beyond this answer, but there are articles in Wikipedia if you want to try to understand this. See 'Electron Configuration' for example and also follow other links given.
Electrons can move from atom to atom.?
elecron can move from atom to atom... yes
Is the elecron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical reaction?
Yes. If there are 1 to 3 valence electrons in an atom, then generally those elements will lose these electrons to attain noble gas configuration. If there are 5 to 7 valence electrons, then generally those elements will gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration.

Does the lamb shift of hydrogen electrons effect their energy?
Yes - the energy of all electronic states are slightly shifted by the interaction of he elecron with vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. For the 2S and 2P levels in hydrogen this amounts to a splitting of about 4.4*10^-6 eV.
How is an elecron microscope useful?
Its useful to see very small microorganisms & useful to study about small viruses etc.
Why cesium requires little energy to release its one elecron of outermost shell?
The distance between the nucleus an this electron is higher.
What forms when an atom transfers its electrons to another atom?
the atom that loses the electron becomes a positively charged ion, or cation, and the atom gaining an elecron becomes a negativelu charged ion, or anion. The two ions may ionically bond because opposite charges attract, or they may bond to other ions.
Why do some atoms need two or three covalent bonds?
A covelent bond is a bond in which atoms share electrons. The orbiting "free" elecrons are called valence electrons and carbon atoms will share their electrons with each other in a diamond, hence covalent: co- valence. The amount of electrons that participate depends on the amount of valence elecrons. As opposed to an ionic bond like halite (NaCl) where the chlorine atom will take the sodium atom's valence elecron, causing the electrical neutrality of both ions te be upset and opposite. A strong electromagnetic attraction will now exist between the two ions.
A molecule that gives up an elecron becomes?
Well if a atom loses or gains an electron it becomes an ion - a positively of negatively charged atom.
What effect do added impurities have on semiconductor conductivity?
It is called as DOPING. Doping is the process in which you add an impurity to a pure semiconductor to increase its conductivity. While doping is done, crystal structure of semiconductor is not disturbed.
