Why are valence electrons easier to remove from an atom than core electrons?
the force of attraction between then nucleus and the valence electrons is less than that between the nucleus and the core electrons
Which of the following phrases describe valence electrons?
Electrons that are farthest from the nucleus
Which electrons are the valence electrons of the atom?
The correct answer is: The electrons farthest away from the nucleus... chris ellis
Which subatomic determines the atoms chemical properties and why?
Valence shell electrons or valence electrons determine the chemical properties of an atom...
The nucleus and all electrons in an atom except the valence electrons?
The nucleus and all electrons in an atom except the valence electrons is known as the elemental symbols.
What are the electron farthest from the nucleus called?
Electrons farthest from nucleus are valence electrons. They are present in outermost orbit.
Which electrons are the valence electrons of an atom?
The electrons farthest away from the nucleus are the valence electrons of an atom.
What is the definition of kernel electrons?
Kernel electrons are the electrons that orbit the nucleus of atom and are NOT considered to be part of the valence shell.
Why are valence electrons easier to remove from an atom than core electrons?
the force of attraction between then nucleus and the valence electrons is less than that between the nucleus and the core electrons
What is the outer shell of an atom?
The outer shell is the valence electrons and they are very loosely bound to the nucleus - less force by the nucleus on the valence electrons, so valence shell's electrons are exchanged first in any reaction.
What term is used to refer to the electrons furthest from the nucleus?
Valence electrons
Which of the following phrases describe valence electrons?
Electrons that are farthest from the nucleus
The outer electaons are attracted to the nucleus by a force stronger than the inner shell eclectrons?
No. The outer shell (valence) electrons are not attracted towards the nucleus as strongly as are the inner (core) electrons. This is why they could be traded in and out during chemical reactions, while the core electrons normally could not.
The nucleus and all electrons in an atom exept the valence electrons what is it?
that would be an ion
Is it easier to lose electrons when the valence electrons are far from the nucleus?
Yes, it is true.
What type of electron is available to form bonds?
Valence electrons-electrons that are farthest from an atoms nucleus- are the electrons that form bonds with other atoms.
The elements within a group have a similar number of?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
