What else can I help you with?
Are all the electrons always the same distance from the nucleus?
all electrons are alike
Do protons or electrons surround the nucleus?
Protons are contained within the nucleus, electrons surround the nucleus at a considerable distance (atomically speaking)
Why do elements at the bottom of the group have a lower attraction for their valence electrons?
Elements at the bottom of a group in the periodic table have a lower attraction for their valence electrons primarily due to increased atomic size and the shielding effect. As you move down a group, additional electron shells are added, which increases the distance between the nucleus and the valence electrons. This increased distance diminishes the effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons. Additionally, inner electron shells shield the valence electrons from the full effect of the positive charge of the nucleus, further reducing the attraction.
Electrons orbit the atom's nucleus in one of these?
Electrons orbit the atom's nucleus in specific energy levels, also known as electron shells or orbitals. The electrons are arranged in these levels based on their energy and distance from the nucleus.
Why are electrons usually found near the nucleus?
Electrons are usually found near the nucleus due to the attractive force of the positively charged protons in the nucleus. This force keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus rather than floating away. The balance between the attractive force of the protons and the repulsive force of the electrons determines the electron's energy level and distance from the nucleus.
Are electrons next to the nucleus?
No, electrons are around nucleus but at a great distance.
What is the Attraction of nucleus for electrons is reduced by?
Distance.
Are all the electrons always the same distance from the nucleus?
all electrons are alike
Why don't electrons crash into the nucleus?
Electrons do not crash into the nucleus because they are constantly in motion and are held in orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. This force keeps the electrons at a certain distance from the nucleus, preventing them from colliding with it.
Is the electrons farther from the nucleus?
Yes, electrons in higher energy levels are farther from the nucleus compared to electrons in lower energy levels. This is due to the increased energy of electrons in higher energy levels.
Do protons or electrons surround the nucleus?
Protons are contained within the nucleus, electrons surround the nucleus at a considerable distance (atomically speaking)
What are electrons that are located at a given distance from an atom's nucleus in a region called?
valence electrons
What is the approximate distance an electrons is located from the nucleus measured by?
shell
What do protons and electrons and neutrons make up?
Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus in an atom, the electrons are in shells or orbits around that nucleus at quite a distance (relatively to the nucleus diameter)
Which has more potential energy an electron close to an atomic nucleus or one far from an atomic nucleus?
An electron far from an atomic nucleus has more potential energy compared to one close to the nucleus. This is because the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the higher its potential energy due to the increased distance from the attraction of the positively charged nucleus.
