Why don't electrons crash into the nucleus?
Electrons do not crash into the nucleus because they are constantly in motion and are held in orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. This force keeps the electrons at a certain distance from the nucleus, preventing them from colliding with it.
Why don't electrons fly off into space?
Electrons are held in place by the electromagnetic force exerted between them and the positively charged protons in an atom's nucleus. This force keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus, preventing them from flying off into space.
The number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of what?
In a electrically neutral atom, the number of positive charges in the atom's nucleus (with one charge being held on each proton in the nucleus), is balanced out by the number of negative charges present in the electron cloud round the nucleus (with one charge being held on each electron in the cloud). This means that in a neutral atom the number of Protons = the number of Electrons.
How are electrons held in an orbit around the nucleus?
While it is useful to visualize an Electron orbiting an atomic nucleus like a moon orbiting a planet. It is more realistic to think of the Electron as a standing wave (with a fixed number of wave crests and troughs) surrounding the nucleus. The electromagnetic force holds the Electron and nucleus together. The Electron holds a negative electrical charge and the nucleus a positive electrical charge and the two attract one another. Therefore for each positive charge present in the atomic nucleus (the Protons) there must be a balancing negative charge (the Electrons) present round the atom.
Name of the atoms core?
The core of an atom is called the nucleus. It contains protons and neutrons, which are held together by strong nuclear forces. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons that orbit around it in specific energy levels.
What is the number of electrons that can be held in the frist orbit?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in the third orbit of an atom is 18. This is based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. For the third orbit (n=3), the maximum number of electrons is 2 x 3^2 = 18.
The number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
About 14 or less sometimes it changes just kidding about 14 bye thi was Nyahrules
How many electrons held in the second orbit of oxygen?
6
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
What is the number of electron's that can be held in the second orbit?
8
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in an atom's second energy level is?
2
What number of electrons that can be held in first orbit closest to the nucleus?
The orbit or electron shell closest to the nucleus is the 1s sub-shell. It can hold 2 electrons before the 2s sub-shell is filled. H and He have their electrons in this shell (the 1s)
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
the max is 2 for the first orbitthe max is 8 for the second orbitthe max is 8 for the thrid orbit too.User:HeleneM5500:06, 4 Sep 2009 (UTC)Electrons follow paths called orbits, shells, or levels. Each shell can hold a specific maximum number of electrons. Each electron possesses a definite amount of energy. The radius of the orbit depends on the amount of energy that electron has & on the attractive force the nucleus has for that electron. Bohr model of the atom (with main energy levels identified by number: 1 --> 7Shell #1 closest to nucleus can hold a maximum of 2 each.Shell #2 next shell outward can hold a maximum of 8 each.Shell #3 next shell outward for elements Z = 1 --> 20, this shell can hold a maximum of 8 e-, for all others a maximum of 18 each.
How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
How many electrons are held in the second energy level?
A total number of 8 electrons. Two in the 2s orbital and six in the 2p orbital
The number of electrons that can be held in the the third orbit.?
The Third Principal Energy Level can hold 2 e- in the S orbital and6 e- in the P sublevel. So there's a total of eight e- in all.
