What is an organized series of events in scientific inquiry?

The sequence of scientific investigation in psychology is observation, theory, hypothesis, and evidence. Scientific investigation is the way in which scientists and researchers use a systematic approach to answer questions about the world around us.


What is the Balmer Series?

The Balmer series is a section of the hydrogen atomic emission line spectrum. They show the wavelengths of light emitted when electrons transition back to the n = 2 quantum level.


Is ra 7s2 5f3 valid?

The electron configuration "Ra 7s² 5f³" is not valid because it incorrectly places electrons in the 7s subshell for an atom that should not have electrons in that energy level. Radium (Ra), with an atomic number of 88, has its valence electrons in the 7s subshell, but the 5f subshell can only accommodate 14 electrons in elements of the actinide series. The correct configuration for radium is [Rn] 7s², and the 5f subshell is filled in elements like actinium (Ac) and beyond.


Types of radioactive emission?

The nuclei of radioactive elements may emitt one or more of the following; Gamma Rays --- very energetic electromagnetic wave pulses Beta Negative Rays --- electrons Beta Positive Rays ---- positrons (positive electrons) Alpha Rays ------ a composite particle consisting of 2 neutrons & 2 protons.


How does adding bulbs affect the current?

The bulbs get progressively darker. Electricity is the flow of electrons and the potential difference caused by these electrons powers the bulbs. The first bulb will get the most amount as the electrons flow past, then the 2nd will less and so on for any other bulbs in the series.

How are electrons organized in the area outside the nucleus?

In reality, the electrons are on different energy levels at different distances in a sort of cloud around the nucleus. Traditionally, this is simplified and drawn as a series of 'rings' at different distances from the nucleus.


Electrons are organized in a series of what?

orbitals, each of which can hold 2 electron of opposite spin.


Characteristics of the series of levels surrounding the nucleus?

The series of levels surrounding the nucleus in an atom are referred to as electron shells. These shells represent different energy levels where electrons are located. As you move farther from the nucleus, the energy levels increase, allowing for more electrons to occupy them. The electrons in the outermost shell, known as the valence shell, play a key role in determining the chemical properties of the atom.


Where is the location of electrons?

The electron can either be by itself outside of an atom, or can be in an atom in a series of energy 'shells' outside of the nucleus.


How is an electorn arranged in an atom?

Electrons are arranged in a series of shells or orbitals that contain a specific number of electrons there are 4 types of shell which contain a different number of electrons. Electrons tend to be found in Paris spinning in opposite directions, but this is not always the case and is dependant on the number of electrons in the outer shell. all shells below the outer one will be full

What does an atom contain in various energy levels?

The question is somewhat unclear, so my answer may be off. Energy levels in discussion of atomic structure typically refer to the structure of the electron cloud. Around an atoms nucleus are a series of orbitals in which electrons can be stored - they require greater amounts of stored energy to contain at higher orbitals. As such, each orbital fills from the innermost ring out. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital for the discussion of atomic orbitals on wikipedia. Each orbital refers to a specific energy level.


Where would you find a cell's DNA in a cell?

A cell's DNA is typically found in the nucleus of the cell, organized into structures called chromosomes. Some cells, like red blood cells, may not have a nucleus, in which case the DNA is found in the cell's cytoplasm.


What is outside the nucleus of an atom?

Electrons.In the traditional, though not necessarily correct (physicists may debate it), view you can think of the electrons as like planets orbiting around a sun (the nucleus).The electron(s) orbit in a series of rings, with each ring being able to hold up to a maximum number of electrons. The heavier atoms have more electrons (and more rings) than the lighter ones.It is interesting to think how this model pictures the atom as mostly empty space. An atom, and therefore everything in the Universe, is mostly made up of absolutely nothing!
