Usually, highly electro positive atoms donate (release) electrons to convert into cations. Metals are good electron donors and a few exceptional non-metals with high negative ionization enthalpies, release electrons to gain stability and achieve nearest noble-gas configuration.

What happens when an electron moves from a low energy state to a high energy state?

When an electron moves from a low energy state to a high energy state, it absorbs energy. This absorption of energy causes the electron to jump to a higher energy level or orbit further away from the nucleus. The electron is now in an excited state and can later release this energy in the form of light when it returns to a lower energy state.

The region of space where electrons of a certain energy move about the nucleus of an atom?

The region of space where electrons of a certain energy move about the nucleus of an atom is called an electron orbital. Electron orbitals are regions where there is a high probability of finding an electron based on its energy level. Different electron orbitals have different shapes and orientations.


What is a beta partical?

A Beta Particle is a high energy electron that comes from the nucleus, not from the electron cloud. However, the nucleus contains only protons and neutrons. During this kind of transmutation, a neutron becomes unstable and splits into an electron and a proton. The electron, or beta particle, is released with a large amount of energy. The proton however, remains in the nucleus.P.S. I got this information out of my Science text book. (:


How many times does a hydrogen electron changes position each second?

A hydrogen electron changes position billions of times per second, as it orbits the nucleus at extremely high speeds. The specific number of changes depends on the energy level of the electron and the distance from the nucleus.

All nonmetal atoms release energy when forming a 1- anion?

Nonmetal atoms release energy when they gain an electron to form a negatively charged anion because the electron affinity of nonmetals is usually high. This process involves the attraction between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus of the nonmetal atom, resulting in the release of energy.
