Electrons collect in the outer energy levels of atoms, known as electron shells. These shells are organized around the atomic nucleus and can hold a specific number of electrons based on the atom's atomic number and electron configuration.

What results when extra electrons collect and stay in an object for a period of time?

When extra electrons collect and stay on an object for a period of time, it becomes negatively charged. This accumulation of excess electrons can cause the object to exhibit static electricity effects, such as attracting or repelling other objects.


What do solar panels collect to produce energy?

Solar panels collect sunlight, which is then converted into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. The photons in the sunlight knock electrons loose from atoms in the panel's semiconductor material, generating an electric current.


Why a balloon now negatively charged?

When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.


Which subatomic particle determines reactivity?

Electrons are the subatomic particles that determine the reactivity of an element. The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, known as valence electrons, determines how likely an atom is to form chemical bonds with other atoms.


What are the electrons in the outer shell?

The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are called valence electrons. These electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms to create molecules. The number of valence electrons influences the reactivity and chemical properties of an element.

What molecule collects the majority of the electrons from the food that you eat?

The molecule that collects the majority of electrons from the food you eat is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). During cellular respiration, NAD+ is reduced to NADH by accepting electrons and protons from the breakdown of glucose and other nutrients.

Why can heluim only have two valence electrons?

Because Helium, as the atom number 2, has only 2 protons in the nucleus, so the element He can 'hold' only 2 electrons in its prime K-orbit. However they should not be referred as 'valence' electrons, because they don't participate in valency (= capable of bonding): the K-orbit is stable and filled up and can NEITHER collect more electrons from NOR it will provide its own pair of electrons to other elements thus making it inert (Helium is a 'nobel' gas)


What is the future tense of collect?

Collect all the relative information of liquids good or poor conductors of electricity?

Great question: Conduction of electricity (electrons) in a solution requires ions. Water is, by itself, only weakly ionic (charged) and as such is a poor conductor of electrons. Adding, or dissolving, substances that will form ions increases the conductivity of the mixture.
