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.
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.
What is likely to happen to an atom of oxygen that noes not contain the maximum number of electrons in its outermost energy level?
An isolated oxygen atom has exactly eight electrons. If it had any other number, it would be an oxygen ion. But most oxygen atoms are not isolated -- they are chemically bonded to other atoms in molecules like water H2O or oxygen gas O2, or in networks like silica SiO2 An oxygen atom can be thought of as having three energy levels for its electrons. There is a 1s energy level for electrons bound very tightly and very close to the nucleus. It can accommodate 2 electrons. Similarly there is a 2s energy level that can accommodate 2 more of the oxygen electrons, in a less tightly bound situation, and a 2p energy level that can accommodate 6 electrons, but only actually has 4 electrons to accommodate in an isolated oxygen atom. An isolated oxygen atom is very greedy to fill those extra two electron slots. It cannot actually steal electrons in other atoms in most circumstances, because that would make a negative ion, where the extra electrons would not be at all tightly bound. What it can do is to steal other atoms to form new chemical bonds and make new molecules or networks. In these new arrangements the empty slots in the 2p energy level are filled by electrons shared in the new chemical bond To take a particular example, oxygen forms very strong bonds with hydrogen atoms, so much so that it can steal a hydrogen atom from a molecule of the generally unreactive gas methane, breaking a slightly weaker chemical bond as it does so: O + CH4 --> OH + CH3 OH + CH4 --> H2O + CH3 In this way, the isolated oxygen atom with 4 electrons in its 6 available 2p slots becomes a water molecule with all 6 of the 2p slots filled. These reactions where oxygen is able to steal hydrogen atoms that were originally bonded to carbon are an important part of the complicated series of reactions involved in burning fuel. That is the long answer. The short answer is that it is likely to undergo chemical reactions so that it can fill any empty slots with shared electrons.
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?
electron shells
Electrons are organized in a series of what?
orbitals, each of which can hold 2 electron of opposite spin.
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.
What is a organized series of reaction steps in which membrane-bound arrays of enzymes and other molecules give up and accept electrons in turn?
electronic transfer chain
What is a series of tubes?
nucleus
What cell is a series of tubes?
nucleus
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!

What is the difference between the plum pudding and the nuclear model of an atom?
- Plum pudding model: electrons are included in a positive sphere.- The Bohr model consider that electrons are in a continuous movement around the atomic nucleus.
What is true about all anions?
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
What was the title of the book series in which the mathematician Euclid organized?
Elements
