How many electrons do silicon atoms have?
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
How many valance electrons to Atoms of oxygen and sulfur have?
Oxygen atoms have 6 valence electrons, while sulfur atoms have 6 valence electrons as well.
What atoms contain exactly two unpaired electrons?
Oxygen atoms contain exactly two unpaired electrons. This is because oxygen has 6 total electrons, with 2 in the first energy level and 4 in the second. Two of the electrons in the second energy level are unpaired.
What part of the atom determines how it will react with other atoms?
These particles are the electrons.
How are atoms in a compound held together?
Atoms in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve a stable configuration. These bonds can be covalent, where atoms share electrons, or ionic, where electrons are transferred between atoms.
What came first after the Big Bang electrons or protons?
After the Big Bang, electrons formed first, followed by protons. Electrons are one of the fundamental particles that make up atoms, while protons are found in the nucleus of an atom. The early universe was a hot soup of particles that eventually cooled and allowed electrons and protons to combine to form neutral hydrogen atoms.
How many electrons do silicon atoms have?
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
Does the understanding and development of atoms have anything to do with nuclear applications?
Yes, physics first came to understand atoms and that they had nuclei and 'shells' of electrons, and later it came to be understood that the nuclei were composed of protons and neutrons. Nuclear applications only followed this second stage, but the first stage ws essential too.
What determines whether or not an atom reacts with other atoms is it the electrons on the first shell or the second?
It is predominantly the electrons on the outermost shell (valence electrons) of an atom that determine its reactivity with other atoms. These valence electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
How do hydrogen atoms make a covalant bond?
Two hydrogen atoms share their electrons; thus, both of them have two electrons each in their first shell and become stable.
How the number of electrons in an atoms electron shells is the basis for chemical bonding?
Atoms bond because they "share" their electrons. Every atom wants to have 2 atoms in their first shell, and then 8 in all the other shells. Lets say we have an atom with 3 electrons, and one with 9 electrons, they will esaly bond
Do the chlorine atoms ever return the electrons to the sodium atoms?
No, the chlorine atoms do not return the electrons to the sodium atoms.
Does each electron consist of only one type of atom?
Electrons are smaller than atoms. There are electrons in atoms, but no atoms in electrons.
How many electrons do the caron atoms have?
Carbon atoms have a total of six electrons. In a neutral carbon atom, these electrons are arranged with two in the first energy level (the innermost shell) and four in the second energy level, allowing for the formation of four covalent bonds with other atoms.
Do some atoms have no electrons?
yes, some atoms don't actually have electrons.
"atoms share electrons"?
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.
What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?
The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.
