Valence electrons are the electrons involved in chemical reactions.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to an atom when it looses an electron?
If an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes a positive. (The process of losing an electron is called OXIDATION, by the way.) Depending on the electron configuration, the atom could become "happy" (because its outer ring is now empty) or it could want to bond with another atom to fill ALL of the spots on its outer electron ring.
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.
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
The part of the atom that accounts for electricity is the?
The electron is the part of the atom that accounts for electricity.
What particle in an atom is the least massive?
electron
What is the fuzzy part of an atom called?
I suppose on some atom models the electron cloud would be called "fuzzy".
The electron cloud is a visual model of the probable locations of electrons in an atom is this true?
Yes, it is only a probable representation.
Which best describes how an ionic forms?
One atom pulls an electron from another atom.
What is the electron configuration?
The electron configuration is a representation of how electrons are distributed among the various atomic orbitals in an atom. It is often written using the notation of the periodic table, indicating the number of electrons in each energy level or subshell.
What is the electronic cloud?
The electron cloud refers to the region around a nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found. It represents the probability of finding an electron at a particular location in an atom. The cloud is not a physical structure but rather a mathematical representation of the electron's behavior within an atom.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
what statement most completely describes a Lewis electron dot diagram?
A Lewis electron dot diagram is a graphical representation of the valence electrons in an atom, where each dot represents a valence electron. It is used to show the bonding between atoms in a molecule and to predict molecular geometry based on electron pair repulsion theory.
Is an electron in a hydrogen atom the same as an electron in a uranium atom?
yes
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
Is copper the best conductor?
because copper atom has one electron in outer shell and easy to to energize to flow to other copper atom we now that the rate of flow of electron is current
What energy changes when a neutral atom gains an electron?
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
