What else can I help you with?
The electrical interaction between nucleus and the orbital electron is a force of?
there is nothing called as an electric force...an electron revolves around a nucleus due to the electrostatic fore of attracion between the electron and the proton....any object , to undergo a circlar motion has to experience a centripetal force, which in the case of the atom is provided by the electrostatic force. Actually there is an electric force of attraction between the electron(s) and proton(S)
What holds the nucleus and electron cloud together in an atom?
strong nuclear force. The nucleus is held together by both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The electron is bond to the nucleus by electro-static forces.
What attraction holds the electron in orbit around the nucleus of the hydrogen atom?
Magnetic. The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a proton, which has a positive charge. The electron has a negative charge Opposite charges attract so the negative electron is attracted to the positive nucleus.
Will Lithium Sodium or Potassium react the fastest?
As it has more electron shells between the nucleus and the outermost electron, and as group 1 elements react by losing there outermost electron, the more shielding effect between the nucleus and the electron, the smaller the force of attraction on the electron, so the more readily it will react as less energy is needed to break the bond between the outer electron and the positive nucleus.
Why would an increase in atomic radius make it easier to lose an outer electron?
It's because as atomic radius increases, so do the number of electron shells. The full electron shells closer to the nucleus act like a barrier or shield that reduces the pulling force exerted by the Nucleus on the outer electron. Since the nucleus's pulling force is reduced, an electron on the outer shell can escape much more easily.
How does electron shielding explain why it is easier to remove an electron from rubidium than from lithium?
In rubidium, having a larger atomic radius, the attraction force between the atomic nucleus and and the electron from outermost shell is lower.
The closer a is to the nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
Yes, that's correct. The closer an electron is to the nucleus of an atom, the stronger the attractive force between the nucleus and the electron. This attraction is due to the electrostatic force between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron.
Why does valence electron give up outermost energy easily?
The force of attraction between the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons are the least. Hence valence electrons are lost easily.
Which electron would be most easily removed from its path around the nucleus?
Nucleus exerts a force on every electron revolving around it. This force is inversely proportional to the distance between the nucleus and the electron. Therefore the electrons in outermost orbit (or shell) have the least nucleic forceacting upon them in comparison to the inner electrons. Therefore they are the most easily removable electrons.They are called valence electrons.
The force that keeps the electron in the orbit is the?
Electrostatic force between the electron and the positively charged nucleus.
How centripetal force balances n circular motion of electron?
the centripetal force along with the attractive force of the electron on the nucleus are balanced by a phenomnon known as the strong nuclear force which prevents the electron from coliding with the nucleus

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.
What electron forces exist between the nucleus and the outermost electrons?
The coulomb force is the dominant force between the electrons of an atom and the nucleus. It is the standard force of attraction between positive and negative charges. (Of course, the electrons also interact with each other also through the repulsive coulomb force expected of like charges.) The forces between the nucleus and the electrons is the same basic coulomb force fo all electrons, inner electrons or outer electrons or any electrons. (Of course, the type of force is the same but the strength of the force varies with distance being weaker for more distant electrons.) Essentially all of chemistry is determined by this simple inverse square force of attraction and repulsion. Other forces such as the force of gravity or the more exotic nuclear forces and electroweak interactions are so small as to be irrelevant except in special circumstances.)
What prevents an electron from being freed due to its centrifugal force?
A negatively charged electron is attracted by the positively charged nucleus so the electron revolves around the nucleus so that it can generate enough centrifugal force in order that the attractive force is nullified and the electron can stay in its orbit
What holds the nucleus and electron cloud together in an atom?
strong nuclear force. The nucleus is held together by both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The electron is bond to the nucleus by electro-static forces.
