What part of the atom carries a positive charge?
Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.
What is a structure of an typical atom?
An atom is made up of a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in orbitals. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the number of electrons determines its charge.
What is contained inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus in electron clouds.
How many electron clouds in zirconium?
Zirconium has four electron clouds surrounding its nucleus. These clouds correspond to the four electrons in zirconium's outermost energy level.
Are clouds compounds?
No, clouds are not compounds. Clouds are a collection of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. These particles come together to form clouds due to changes in temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
How do clouds carry electric charges?
Charge is origimated in clouds due to friction from other clouds but there is no specific mechanism to carry it, they just bear it.
Why do some lightning strikes hit other clouds?
Lightning can strike other clouds when there is a difference in electrical charge between the clouds. This difference in charge can be caused by different weather conditions or air movements. When the difference in charge becomes large enough, a lightning bolt can form between the clouds.
How is lightning produced in the clouds if there is water in them?
Lightning is the discharge of static electricity. Items on the ground, including the ground itself, has one charge while the clouds in the sky, even the sky itself has the opposite charge. When one has more charge than the other, it discharges causing lightning.
When Moist stable air flowing upslope can be expected to?
produce stratus type clouds.
Who was first to observe static charge in clouds and how was it proved?
benjamin franklin
What is the charge of the tree and ground before the clouds appear overhead?
i think the trees and the ground may have a neutral charge bfore clouds form then they become positively charged when negative charges form at the lower portion of the cloud.
Where are electric charge found?
Electrons are found in electron clouds, which are ouside of the nucleus.
What causes the electric current that result in lightning?
Lightning is caused by a buildup of electrical charge in clouds. When the charge difference between the clouds and the ground becomes large enough, a lightning bolt is discharged to balance the charge. This sudden flow of electricity forms the lightning seen in the sky.
How many charge clouds does NF3 have?
NF3 has four charge clouds, consisting of three bonding pairs and one lone pair around the central nitrogen atom. This results in a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry for NF3.
Lightning is electricity. How is charge conserved when lightning strikes?
Because there is a difference in the charge states of the earth and the clouds, resulting from the static electricity built up by water molecules moving about in the thundercloud. When this difference in charge states is equalized, there is usually a visible arc, which we call lightning.
Electrical discharge between two clouds or between a cloud and the Earth's surface?
When an electrical discharge occurs between two clouds or between a cloud and the Earth's surface, it is known as lightning. Lightning is caused by the buildup of electric charge within clouds or between clouds and the ground. This buildup of charge leads to a discharge of electricity in the form of a lightning strike.
How does precipitacion works in the water cycle?
The condensed water combines and form clouds. When clouds with opposite charge hit each other, precipitation occurs.
