What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.
Why can beta particle not exist inside the nucleus?
because it is an electron which orbits the nucleus
Electrons are organized in a series of what around the nucleus of an atom?
Electron shells, orbitals, and sub-orbitals.
The type of electron cloud around the nucleus that shows the possible electron positions?
well i think it is the electron cloud
In order to fall closer to the nucleus an electron must do what?
The respective electron has to lose energy.
How does the electron's energy change as the orbit of the electron increases?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
What phrases describes how the position of an electron relates to its energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
What describes how the position of an electron relates to it's energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
What happens to the energy that an electron has as its distance from the nucleus of the atom increases?
Physically put, the electron has more energy the farther ( higher ) it is from the nucleus. Simple potential energy. PE = mgh
What happened to the energyof an electron as it goes farther from the nucleus?
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
What phrase describes the position of an electron relates to its energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Electrons exist only at fixed levels of potential energy However if an atom absorbs sufficient energy a possible result is that?
An electron may move to an electron shell farther out from the nucleus.
Compare a very large and a small atom in the large atom the outermost electron is farther away from the nucleus?
yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.
How do you determine the energy in the f- level orbit?
subtract two from the period number
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
What does the energy of each level n depend on?
The main principal quantum number (n) depends on the average relative distance of an electron from the nucleus. The farther away from the nucleus, the greater value for n and the greater the energy.
