Does a sodium atom gain one electron?
It keeps its neutrons but loses one electron. Protons and neutrons do not move in a chemical reaction. Sodium, being in group one, must lose one electron to have a complete outer electron shell and thus be stable.
An electron is to a beta particle as helium is to a?
An electron is to a beta particle as helium is to an alpha particle. Both beta particles and alpha particles are types of radioactive decay products, with beta particles being high-energy electrons and alpha particles being helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons.
What is an area around an atom that can hold only a set number of electrons?

What is the electron configuration for copper?
Copper's atomic number is 29. Filling in the first 29 orbitals gives the configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d10. Seeing as how there is only one electron in the 4 shell, coppers valence electron configuration is thus 4s1.
What is the difference between atoms of carbon -12 and carbon -14?
There is no difference in the electron configuration. Carbon always has 6 electrons, with 4 valence electrons. The difference is in their masses. Carbon-14 has 2 more neutrons, making it have a mass of 14, while carbon-12's mass is 12.
Which orbital gives an electron the greatest probability of being found close to nucleus?
The 1s orbital.
What if you add one electron to the element having 9 protons and 10 neutrons?
By adding one electron to an element with 9 protons and 10 neutrons, you would create a negatively charged ion. The electron would occupy an orbital in the electron cloud, resulting in the element being one electron short of achieving a stable electron configuration. This ion would have a charge of -1 due to the extra electron.
What information is lost when using electron configurations instead of orbital diagrams?
When using electron configurations instead of orbital diagrams, the spatial orientation of the orbitals is lost. Orbital diagrams provide a visual representation of how electrons are distributed in different orbitals, including their spin. Additionally, orbital diagrams convey information about the relative energy levels of the orbitals being filled.
What region is an electron most likely to be found called?
The region in an atom where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital. Orbitals are defined as the three-dimensional spaces around the nucleus where electrons have the highest probability of being located.
What happens to the electron count and the number of shells when you move from neon to sodium?
When you move from neon to sodium, the electron count increases from 10 to 11, as sodium has one more electron than neon. This additional electron occupies the third energy level orbital, resulting in an additional shell being added for sodium compared to neon.
What orbital is being filled when fluorine accepts one electron from sodium?
When fluorine (F) takes an electron from sodium (or from any element in an ionic bonding scenario), the 2p6 sub-orbital is filled, which allows fluorine to achieve the electron configuration of nearby neon (Ne).
How are the electrons structures of hydrogen and lithium?
Hydrogen has one electron in its 1s orbital, giving it a simple electron structure of 1s¹. In contrast, lithium has three electrons, with its electron configuration being 1s² 2s¹. This means lithium has two electrons in the 1s orbital and one electron in the 2s orbital, indicating a more complex structure compared to hydrogen. The difference in electron configurations contributes to their distinct chemical properties.
Why electrons pairing start with only 2p orbital in P subshell?
Electrons pair in the 2p orbital first because each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and pairing allows for greater stability due to electron-electron repulsion being minimized. Additionally, electron pairing in the 2p orbital follows Hund's rule, which states that electrons fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up.
4 parts of an atom?
All the parts in an atom are proton,neutron,and electron also there is the outer part it is said to be "electron cloud". the proton and neutron are in the small dense nucleus while the electrons float in unpredictable paths around the nucleus in the "electron cloud"
In an s orbital the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does NOT depend on?
In an s orbital, the probability of finding an electron at a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on the direction in which the distance is measured or the orientation of the orbital. This is because s orbitals are spherically symmetric, meaning the electron has an equal likelihood of being found at any distance from the nucleus in all directions.
What is the energy level and orbital for K?
Assuming K stands for potassium, an element with 19 electrons, the electron configuration is as follows: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s13p64s1 The electron configuration shows the orbitals is order of energy level. The 4s orbital being at the highest energy level and the 1s orbital being at the lowest energy level. As 2px, 2py and 2pz exist, there are three 2p orbitals that occur at the p level, allowing the element to carry 6 electrons, 2 in each orbital. There is a specific order in listing the orbitals
Relative charge of neutron?
The main constituents to the atom are the protons (p+) and neutrons (n) of its nucleus, and their orbital electrons (e-). The p is notated with a positive charge, while the e- is negative -1.
