In any neutral object the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. All metallic elements contain more than one proton in the nucleus. Therefore there will be more electrons than atomic nuclei.

Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?

Yes, most atoms do have more electrons than protons. This is because atoms are electrically neutral, and the number of protons (positive charge) in the nucleus is balanced by the number of electrons (negative charge) surrounding the nucleus.


Did Democritus say his model had electrons surrounding the nucleus at a distance?

No, Democritus did not propose the concept of electrons surrounding the nucleus at a distance. His atomic model was more focused on indivisible particles called atoms as the fundamental building blocks of matter. The idea of electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels was developed later by scientists like Niels Bohr.


How do you determine the number of electrons that an atom normally have?

The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, which is equal to the atomic number of the element. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons also equals the number of protons to balance the positive charge of the nucleus.


What do you get when the number of protons and electrons in your model is not equal?

Cations are formed if electrons are less. Anions are formed if electrons are more.


How the path of an electrons differs in Bohr's model and in the modern model of the atom?

In Bohr's model, electrons travel in a direct, determined path around the nucleus. In the modern model of the atom, electrons behave more like waves on a vibrating string. Basically the electron's path cannot be predetermined.

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of?

It generally corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, this will also correspond to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus; however, electrons are more likely to move around.


How is Bohr's atomic model different from the modern atomic model?

The modern model for atoms holds electrons in waves, or clouds, surrounding the nucleus. Bohr's model had these electrons orbiting the nucleus as particles. Who wanna date im SINGLE

Do electrons surround the nucleus?

In simple models, yes. They do. In a more correct and more complex model, it is not possible to determine the exact position of an electron at any point, (as they are quantum) but areas of high probability for the electrons to be in exist, they are called orbitals, and yes, they surround the nucleus in a manner of speaking. In metallic bonding, the electrons de-localise from the orbitals, and they float around the substance. These electrons are not surrounding the nucleus.

When do electrons have their greatest energy?

In general, electrons further from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer to the nucleus.


What theory explains the pattern of activity of electrons around the nucleus of atoms?

The behavior of electrons around a nucleus is explained by quantum mechanics. It is also described in complete detail by the Schrodinger Equation (which, however, is ridiculously difficult to solve).


Which one has more electrons neon-10 or neon-12?

Neon-10 has more electrons because neon-10 has 10 electrons, while neon-12 has 10 electrons. The number after the element name indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, not the number of electrons.
