What happens when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
This is the loaning (by one atom) and the borrowing (by another atom) of a valence electron or electrons that creates a chemical bond. This type of bond is the ionic bond where one atom loans (or gives up) and the other borrows (or takes) an electron or electrons. In the other bond type, the covalent bond, the two atoms involved share electrons.
How are the electrons held into place within the atom?
They aren't held IN atoms. They are held AROUND atoms. Yet, the answer you seek is still simple. The Protons of any given atom contain a positive charge value of +1. Each Electron carries a negative charge of -1. These opposites attract, and that's why the Electrons stay in place.
What is the kernel of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom is its core where the protons and neutrons are located. The nucleus makes up the majority of the atom's mass and contains nearly all of its positive charge. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Electrons shared in a molecule are held where to the atoms with the larger nucleus?
Electrons shared in a molecule are held closer to the atom with the larger nucleus due to its greater positive charge, which exerts a stronger attractive force on the negatively charged electrons. This results in the electron density being unequally distributed in the molecule, creating a partial negative charge near the atom with the larger nucleus.
How does the interference of inner electrons affect the attraction of outer electrons in an atom?
The interference of inner electrons in an atom can shield the attraction of outer electrons to the nucleus. This is because the inner electrons create a repulsive force that counteracts the attractive force between the outer electrons and the nucleus. As a result, the outer electrons may not be held as tightly to the nucleus, leading to weaker bonding and reactivity in the atom.
The electrons farthest from the nucleus or most loosely held are called?
the electrons on the last shell of an atom are called valency electrons.
Is it true the valence electrons are those electrons most loosely held by the atom?
yes it is true, they are the outermost electrons and sometimes get "stolen" by other elements creating an ion
How can you explain the fact that lanthanides are highly electropositive and metallic?
All have few outer energy level electrons which are loosely held by the atom.
What is the effect of electrons held loosely?
Electrons held loosely can lead to a material exhibiting good electrical conductivity since they are free to move in response to an applied voltage. This is seen in metals where the valence electrons are not strongly bound to the atomic nucleus.
The valence electrons are those electrons most tightly held by the atom?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and they are involved in bonding with other atoms to form molecules. These electrons are most loosely held by the atom, as they are farthest from the nucleus and have the highest energy.
How can friction be useful to us?
When two materials rub together, the loosely held electrons of one material move to the material with the more tightly held electrons.
How are electrons held within a atom?
electrostatic force between the nucleus and the electrons.
Atom are held together by sharing electrons?
Yes.
Does the ability of atoms to conduct electricity have to with loosely held electrons?
Yes, the ability of atoms to conduct electricity is related to the presence of loosely held electrons. In metals, for example, electrons are free to move throughout the structure, allowing for the flow of electricity. In insulators, the electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus and cannot move easily, limiting conductivity.
What is the energy level farthest away from the nucleus of the atom that holds 8 or more valence electrons?
The valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding. The electrons more loosely held by the nucleus - are the ones that are gained, lost or shared.
What are molecules held together by the donation of electrons to another atom?
Ionic molecules donate electrons.
What is the water loosely held in a crystal structure called?
The water loosely held in a crystal structure is called "water of crystallization." It is water molecules that are incorporated into the crystal lattice of certain compounds, held in place by weak chemical bonds.
