Positive charged subatomic particle?

A positively charged subatomic particle is a proton. Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have a charge of +1. They contribute to the overall positive charge of the nucleus and help hold the atom together.


What is the charge of an electron and how does it affect its behavior in an atom?

The charge of an electron is negative. This negative charge causes electrons to be attracted to the positively charged nucleus of an atom. Electrons move around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells, and their negative charge helps hold the atom together by balancing the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus.


How does the charge over time affect the performance of the battery?

The charge over time can affect the performance of a battery by gradually reducing its capacity and ability to hold a charge. This can lead to decreased battery life and overall performance.


What is a stable octet mean?

a stable octet is also known as a full outer shell. it occurs when electrons are added or removed from an atom so the outtermost shell contains its maximum amount, funnily enough Helium is included because is has a full outer shell as opposed to the direct meaning of a full octet. the term full octet refers to the outtermost shell being complete, however a direct definition means the outtermost shell containing EIGHT electrons, which simply isn't possible for something like Helium or Hydrogen. in which case, the full octet of either Helium or Hydrogen is two electrons- this would give Helium no charge at all, but would give Hydrogen a -1 charge, in a diatomic molecule two Hydrogen atoms would share their electrons between them: H=H <--Hydrogen / Helium --> He (would not donate or adopt electrons) more interstingly is the FORMS of Hydrogen. there are three: Hydrogen, deuterium and tritium.


What balloon material will hold helium indefinitely?

There is no material that can hold helium indefinitely, as helium atoms are very small and can gradually diffuse through most materials. However, certain materials like Mylar balloons, made of a metallic polyester film, are less permeable to helium than latex balloons and can hold helium for longer periods of time.

What charge does the nucleus of an atom hold?

The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. This positive charge is due to the presence of protons in the nucleus. Electrons, which are negatively charged, orbit around the nucleus to balance out the overall charge of the atom.


How many rings does a helium atom have?

I assume you mean energy levels/shells. It has 1.

Why are neutrons in the nucleus of an atom if they have no charge?

well they aren't going to orbit if they have no charge. They hold the protons together. Protons, with the same charge, wouldn't stay together without neutrons.


What is a protons position in the atom?

Protons are located in the nucleus of an atom, along with neutrons. They have a positive charge, which helps hold the nucleus together due to electromagnetic forces. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels.


How are subshells and orbitals related in the electron configuration of an atom?

In the electron configuration of an atom, subshells are made up of orbitals. Each subshell can hold a specific number of orbitals, and each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. The arrangement of electrons in subshells and orbitals determines the overall electron configuration of an atom.


What is the first energy level in helium called?

The first energy level in the quantum (current) theory of the atom is the 1s electron orbital, which can hold two electrons.The following energy levels go like this:1s22s22p63s23p64s24p63d105s25p64d106s2...And so on. (The first number being the energy level, the letter being the shape of the electron orbital, and the superscript being the number of electrons the orbital can hold.)

What are electrons in a atom?

In the electron cloud. In the electronic shells which vary from one element to another They surround the nucleus in a cloud-type formation. This can help you during your science mid-term so pay attention!


What does t he energy levels of an atom hold?

The energy levels of an atom hold electrons.


How many electrons are in the second energy level of helium?

Helium has two electrons total, and the second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. However, in the case of helium, the second energy level will only contain two electrons as it is the outermost energy level.
