How does an electron that was transferred to the shell of another atom stay there without another proton in the nucleus attracting it?
A common misconception is that proton 1 in the nucleus attracts electron 1 in the orbitals, proton 2 attracts electron 2, etc. This is very, very wrong: every proton attracts every electron all at once.
Further electrons, as in beyond the neutral charge, are attracted in the same way as all other electrons, and held subject to a) repulsion and shielding from other electrons and b) remaing gaps in orbitals to fit them.
What else can I help you with?
What does the nucleus of one want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
How many nucleus diameters from the nucleus to the electron?
The nucleus has a width on the order of 10^(-15) meters, while an electron is (on average) a distance of 10^(-10) meters from the nucleus. If you were to magnify the nucleus to the size of a baseball, the electrons would be orbiting at a distance of around 1000 meters. That is, there are about 50,000-100,000 nucleus diameters to the electron's average radius.
The closer a is to the nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
Yes, that's correct. The closer an electron is to the nucleus of an atom, the stronger the attractive force between the nucleus and the electron. This attraction is due to the electrostatic force between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron.
What is a proton in the nucleus converted into what during electron capture?
During electron capture, an electron and proton combine and are converted to a neutron.
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What does the nucleus of one want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
What does the nucleus of the one atom want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus the?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
Is the nucleus a region in which there is a good chance of finding an electron?
An electron is what orbits the nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons
Where is the location of an electron outside of the nucleus?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
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.
The particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is the?
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
Where are latter two particles found?
The latter two particles, the electron and the neutron, are found in the nucleus of an atom. The electron orbits the nucleus in the electron cloud, while the neutron is located alongside protons in the nucleus.
