Which subatomic particle has a greater mass a proton or an electron?
Proton has a greater mass than the electron.
What attractive force holds molecules of H2o together?
The attractive force is electrostatic, and described mathematically by Coulomb's Law. Because oxygen has a greater electronegativity than hydrogen, the electrons are shared unequally by these atoms, giving oxygen a negative charge and hydrogen a positive charge. And opposite charges attract.
Which has a greater electron affinity fluorine or bromine?
Fluorine has greater electron affinity than bromine, or any other element.
Do ionic bonds share or transfer electrons?
Ionic bonds share atoms. An ionic bond is considered a bond where the ionic character is greater than the covalent character. Lithium has a low ionization energy and readily gives up its lone valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has a positive electron affinity and accepts the electron that was donated by the lithium atom.
Which has the lower electron affinity germanium or selenium?
Selenium has the greater electron affinity
Is electrostatic force charge independent of mass?
No, greater mass equates to greater surface area and therefore greater electron-charge storage potential.
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
Why electromagnetic deflection is used in tv-crt rather than electrostatic as in cro?
Electromagnetic deflection is used because it can create greater deflection angles of the electron beam compared to electrostatic deflection.
Can the electron in the ground state of hydrogen absorb a photon of energy 13.6eV and greater than 13.6eV?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
What happens when hydrogen's electron gets close to the valence shell of a fluorine atom?
When hydrogen and fluorine atoms bond, a permanent net dipole forms resulting from hydrogen being covalently bonded to the fluorine as hydrogen bonds form. the hydrogen bond is the strongest type of intermolecular force since the hydrogen nucleus is extremely small and positively charged and fluorine is very electronegative so that the electron on the hydrogen atom is strongly attracted to the fluorine. this leaves a highly localised positive charge on the hydrogen atom and highly negative localised charge on the fluorine. this means the electrostatic attraction between these molecules will be greater than for the polar molecules that do not have hydrogen covalently bonded to either fluorine. because the fluorine atom is unstable, as is the hydrogen, because they have not filled up their valence shell, they bond together quickly, and because of their opposing charges, very strongly. have a look at some online animations, with will become very clear to you. (-) (-) (-) (strong hydrogen bonds) (-) F ----------------------------------------… H (+) (-) (-) it looks a little bit like that, the (-) negative charges on the fluorine attract the positive (+) charge on the hydrogen, forming in hydrogen bonds (----). The fluorine has 7 electrons and the (---) is where both H and F share the electron.
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass a proton or an electron?
Proton has a greater mass than the electron.
What can be considered to be the combination of a proton and an electron?
The pair form a hydrogen atom.There is a fallacy that's taught about this pairing, which is that the electron-proton pair form a neutron. See my answer to the question "What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?" for more details about this, and why it is wrong.
What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?
There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).
Which is more attracted to the nucleus an electron in the outermost shell of am atom or an electron in the innermost shell?
Electrons that are further away from the nucleus have a greater attraction because the positive and negative charges are stronger than innermost electrons
What attractive force holds molecules of H2o together?
The attractive force is electrostatic, and described mathematically by Coulomb's Law. Because oxygen has a greater electronegativity than hydrogen, the electrons are shared unequally by these atoms, giving oxygen a negative charge and hydrogen a positive charge. And opposite charges attract.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus the?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Which has a greater electron affinity fluorine or bromine?
Fluorine has greater electron affinity than bromine, or any other element.
