How is static electricity built up?
everything we see is made up of tiny little parts called atoms. The atoms are made of even smaller parts. These are called protons, electrons and neutrons. They are very different from each other in many ways. One way they are different is their "charge." Protons have a positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons have no charge.Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons. Then the atom has no charge, it is "neutral." But if you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another. Some atoms get extra electrons. They have a negative charge. Other atoms lose electrons. They have a positive charge. When charges are separated like this, it is called static electricity. If two things have different charges, they attract, or pull towards each other. If two things have the same charge, they repel, or push away from each other. So, why does your hair stand up after you take your hat off? When you pull your hat off, it rubs against your hair. Electrons move from your hair to the hat. Now each of the hairs has the same positive charge. Things with the same charge repel each other. So the hairs try to move away from each other. The farthest they can get is to stand up and away from all the other hairs. If you walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra electrons. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The electrons move from you to the knob. You get a shock.
How do electrons in the same atom differ?
Electrons in the same atom differ in their energy levels, which correspond to their distance from the nucleus. They also differ in their angular momentum (orbital shapes) and spin (direction of rotation). These differences determine the electron's behavior and interactions with other electrons.
Why do the elements belonging to a particular group exhibit similar chemical behavior?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which dictates their chemical behavior. Valence electrons are responsible for the way atoms interact with each other in chemical reactions. This similarity in valence electron configuration leads to similar chemical reactivity among group members.
Atoms have no overall electric charge?
No. Atoms can indeed have an overall charge. They can be positive, wherein they have a deficit of electrons, or they can be negative, wherein they have a surplus of electrons. This is called an ionic state.
How are electrons affected by gravity?
Electrons are affected by gravity in the same way as any other object with mass. Gravity causes electrons to be pulled towards the center of the Earth, just like it does with all other objects. However, the effect of gravity on electrons is very small compared to other forces that act on them, such as electromagnetic forces.
All the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No they don't have. Isotopes of an element differ in mass from from each other and this is due to the different no. of electrons in their nucleus.
Are the number of electrons different from every atom of every element?
Each element has a different number of electrons. All atoms of that element have the same number of electrons. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
Do all atoms in the periodic table have the same number of electrons?
Not all atoms on the periodic table have the same number of electrons. It's atomic number is the number of protons and electrons, and since all the elements have different atomic numbers, they all have different numbers of electrons.
Is electron different from other electron?
All electrons of any element are identical.
What makes each HYDROGEN different from all other elements?
The amount of electrons, neutrons, and protons it has in it, Also the spot of the element on the periotic table (medal, gass etc.)
What is the subatomic particles that electrons repel?
1) what is electron? 2) what is matter? 3) structure of atom?
How do you use the word idiosyncrasy in a sentence?
You mispelled it. It's idiosyncrasy. Uncle Johnny had many idiosyncrasies such as talking too loudly, laughing too loudly, and telling long detailed stories which put everyone to sleep before he finished. Dorie
Why aren't all atoms magnets?
Not all atoms are magnets because magnetism is primarily determined by the arrangement of electrons within an atom. In most atoms, the electrons are paired and their magnetic moments cancel each other out, resulting in no net magnetic effect. Only certain atoms with unpaired electrons or aligned spins exhibit magnetic properties.
Why are properties of different compounds so different from each other?
because not all elements and compounds react with each other
Why are the property of different compounds so different from each other?
because not all elements and compounds react with each other
Why are electrons from different elements different?
All the electrons in all chemical elements are identical; only the numb er is different.
This paper has charged particles viz protons and electrons Why does it not exhibit electricity?
because the net charge of all the protons and electrons cancel each other out.
