The negative charges of their electrons repel each other.
What else can I help you with?
An electron is much larger than an atom?
This statement is not correct. An atom is made up of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. Electrons are subatomic particles that are much smaller and have much less mass than the nucleus of an atom.
What would you find orbiting the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative electric charge and are much smaller than the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The electrons move in specific energy levels or shells around the nucleus.
How does an atom's electrons affect its radioactivity?
An atom's electrons typically do not directly affect its radioactivity. Radioactivity is mainly determined by the nucleus of the atom, which contains protons and neutrons. The arrangement of electrons around the nucleus may play a role in the stability of the nucleus, but it is the composition of the nucleus itself that primarily determines an atom's radioactivity.
How many atoms in the element carbon?
Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.
How much of electrons do atoms have?
In a neutral atom, as many as the atom's atomic number (or number of protons): 1 for hydrogen, 2 for helium, 3 for lithium, etc. However, the atom can also gain or lose electrons - converting it into an ion, and resulting in more or less electrons than the atomic number.
How much electrons does phosphorus?
Phosphorus has 15 electrons in the neutral atom.
How much neutrons and protons and electrons in a atom?
These numbers actually vary between atom to atom.
How much electrons does the atom have?
In a normal atom there are 1 electron, but some are different.
How much electrons are there?
In an atom, there are the same amount of protons as electrons, if that's what you mean.
An electron is much larger than an atom?
This statement is not correct. An atom is made up of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. Electrons are subatomic particles that are much smaller and have much less mass than the nucleus of an atom.
How the mass of an atom is organized?
The mass of an atom is primarily concentrated in its nucleus, which is composed of protons and neutrons. Electrons, which have much less mass, orbit the nucleus in energy levels. The total mass of an atom is determined by the combined mass of its protons, neutrons, and electrons.
How much valence electrons can any atom have?
eight I believe
What would you find orbiting the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative electric charge and are much smaller than the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The electrons move in specific energy levels or shells around the nucleus.
Is an electron much larger than an atom?
No, since electrons are part of an atom, they are smaller -- much smaller. In fact, they weigh practically nothing.
What causes an atom to be stable and unstable?
An atom is stable when its nucleus has a balanced ratio of protons and neutrons, and when its electrons are in filled energy levels. An atom is unstable when it has an imbalance of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, leading to radioactive decay in an attempt to reach a more stable configuration.
What are valence electron?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer-most shell of the atom. These are typically the electrons involved in forming bonds with other atoms (as opposed to the other so-called "core" electrons which do not interact much with other atoms or molecules.)See the Related Questions links below for more information and for how to count the valence electrons of an atom.Any electrons located in the outer shell of an atom are known as valence electrons.Valence electrons are electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.
Does atom give electron to form ionic bond?
Yes, essentially one atom in the bond pulls on the electrons so much harder than the other, that they do share them to form the bond, but the more electronegative atom pretty much owns those electrons.
