Why do some photons travel right through the atom unchanged while others are absorbed?
Photons can travel through an atom without being absorbed if they do not have enough energy to interact with the electrons in the atom. However, if a photon has enough energy to match the energy levels of the electrons in the atom, it can be absorbed, causing the electron to move to a higher energy level or be ejected from the atom.
What can be created by forcing electrons to flow from atom to atom?
The flow of electrons from atom to atom is an electrical current.
Do electrons travel in orbits?
No, but the do orbit in a certain shell.
When all electrons in an atom are in orbitals with the lowest possible energy the atom is in its what state is it in?
When all electrons in an atom are in orbitals with the lowest possible energy, the atom is in its ground state. This is the most stable arrangement for the electrons in an atom.
Are electrons found in the nucleus of a atom?
No, electrons are not found in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels. The nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons.
What part of an atom can travel in order to make electricity?
Electrons
The subatomic particles which travel in shells around th nucleus of an atom are?
The nucleus contain protons and neutrons; these particles are also composed from quarks and gluons. Shells are the location of electrons.
Where can you find an electron?
Electrons travel in orbitals around the nucleus of the atom
What atom particles are ejected and travel down the transport chains in the light reaction?
electrons
Why do some photons travel right through the atom unchanged while others are absorbed?

These are regions of space outside the nucleus where electrons travel?
The space outside of the nucleus of an atom where electrons reside is referred to the electron shell or an orbital. According to quantum mechanics theory, electrons do not technically travel, they just exist around the nucleus in something like a shell or a cloud.
What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.
When did Niels Bohr discover that electrons travel around an atomic nucleus?
The Bohr model for the atom is from 1913.
Who atomic model describes the atom as a nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel as waves in the electron cloud?
Schroedinger
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earth The force that keeps the electrons in orbit is the?
Repelling Force of Gravity
Is it true that in a an atom electrons travel outside the nucleus?
Yes. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons and is electrially charged. The electrons are in a "cloud" outside the nucleus.
How many electrons in an atom of nitrogen?
A nitrogen atom has seven electrons.
