What else can I help you with?
Electrons that are held most loosely in an atom are called what?
The electrons in the valence band, this can be 1 to 8 electrons (in the s and p orbitals of the outer shell) depending on the element.
How does the interference of inner electrons affect the attraction of outer electrons in an atom?
The interference of inner electrons in an atom can shield the attraction of outer electrons to the nucleus. This is because the inner electrons create a repulsive force that counteracts the attractive force between the outer electrons and the nucleus. As a result, the outer electrons may not be held as tightly to the nucleus, leading to weaker bonding and reactivity in the atom.
Two atoms that share electrons are held together by what bonds?
Atoms are held together by a few forces, depending on how small you look. Quarks (the sub-atomic particles that make up protons and neutrons) are held together by gluons. Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force. The nucleus and electrons are held together by the electromagnetic force.
How are the electrons held into place within the atom?
They aren't held IN atoms. They are held AROUND atoms. Yet, the answer you seek is still simple. The Protons of any given atom contain a positive charge value of +1. Each Electron carries a negative charge of -1. These opposites attract, and that's why the Electrons stay in place.
Electrons shared in a molecule are held where to the atoms with the larger nucleus?
Electrons shared in a molecule are held closer to the atom with the larger nucleus due to its greater positive charge, which exerts a stronger attractive force on the negatively charged electrons. This results in the electron density being unequally distributed in the molecule, creating a partial negative charge near the atom with the larger nucleus.
How are electrons held within a atom?
electrostatic force between the nucleus and the electrons.
Fast moving electrons travel through the empty space surrounding the nucleus How are electrons held within the atom?
Electrons are held within the atom by the attraction between their negative charge and the positive charge of the nucleus. This attraction, known as the electromagnetic force, keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Why don't electrons crash into the nucleus?
Electrons do not crash into the nucleus because they are constantly in motion and are held in orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. This force keeps the electrons at a certain distance from the nucleus, preventing them from colliding with it.
Are neutrons and electrons held together by strong force?
Protons and electrons are held together in the atom through the electrostatic force of attraction. However, the electrostatic works between any particles, so it should affect protons and protons by making them repel each other and therefore blowing the nucleus of an atom apart. This does not happen because there is a second force at work; the strong nuclear force which (at separations larger than 0.5 femtometres to 3- 4 femtometres) is a attractive force which overcomes the electrostatic force of repulsion and therefore stop the atom being blown apart! hope this helps :)
The electrons farthest from the nucleus or most loosely held are called?
the electrons on the last shell of an atom are called valency electrons.
Why don't electrons fly off into space?
Electrons are held in place by the electromagnetic force exerted between them and the positively charged protons in an atom's nucleus. This force keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus, preventing them from flying off into space.
Electrons that are held most loosely in an atom are called what?
The electrons in the valence band, this can be 1 to 8 electrons (in the s and p orbitals of the outer shell) depending on the element.
What prevents the electrons that orbit an atom's nucleus at high speeds from breaking away from the nucleus due to centrifugal force?
Electrons are held in place by the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This force of attraction, known as the electromagnetic force, is stronger than the centrifugal force acting on the electrons, keeping them in orbit around the nucleus.
What type of force holds subatomic particles together?
electrons are held to nucleus by electromagnetic force.protons and neutrons in nucleus are held together by both strong and weak forces.quarks in protons and neutrons are held together by strong force.
What is atom made from?
A nucleus of Protos and Neutrons held together by the strong force with orbiting electrons around the nucleus.
Why are the electrons held in orbit?
Because they are the outer electrons in an atom and they orbit around the nucleus. But you should ask a scientist this question. NOT put it on ask.com. OR look it up on google.com. it is very likely that you will find something there.
What attraction are atoms held between?
The strong force hold quarks together in nucleons and holds nucleons together. The electromagnetic force holds the electrons in the atom.
