What A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas loosely held together by gravity?
A nebula IS a cloud of dust and gas loosely held together by gravity.
Why does a loosely knotted sweater keep us warmer than a tightly knitted sweater?
Because there are more number of air pocket in loosely knotted sweater so it wont let heat to flow from our body and keeps us warm
What makes up quick sand?
sand and up welling water to keep it loosely suspended.
What does the science term nucleus mean?
Nucleus loosely means "center" but the specific meaning depends on if you're talking biology or another science.
What is a model in which the arrangement of the electrons are shown?
Bohr diagrams are useful models to show the count - and loosely, the arrangement - of electrons by shell.
What is first ionization enegy?
Ionization energy is more commonly used to remove the topmost electron in the atom very important information if you are getting ready for a test.
Which atom requires the least energy for the removal of the most loosely bound electron a.Sn b.Sr c.Be d.Br?
C. Be. Beryllium.
What is an electron that is loosely bound to its nucleus called?
A valance electron.
Which state of matter are the particles loosely connected like beads on a string?
The state of matter in which particles are loosely connected is gaseous state
Why are gasious fuels are more advantage over solid fuel?
gaseous fuel is loosely paged
An electron loosely bound to its nucleus is called?
an electron loosely bound to its nucleus is called a free electron.
Why spongy layer of cells loosely arranged?
So that the cell can breath.
Electrons that are held most loosely in an atom are called what?
The electrons in the valence band, this can be 1 to 8 electrons (in the s and p orbitals of the outer shell) depending on the element.
Why is electron affinity expressed as a negative number while the ionization energy has a positive number in calculating the energy of ion pair formation?
when dealing with atomic chemistry in most cases a negative number indicate the gaining of at least one electron and a positive number indicate the loss of an electron. the definition of electron affinity in a nutshell is the ENERGY required to add an electron to in most cases the outermost shell, so the more electron you trying to add the higher the nergy and the more negative the number would be which would represent the amount of electron added eg.. if i want to add let say 2e- to a oxygen atom then the result would be O(g) + 2e- = O2-(g) also you can see that an anion is formed. on the other hand ionization energy is the somewhat the opposite, it is the removal of the most loosely held electron from a atom in the GASEOUS state forming cation in the end. eg.. Na(g) = Na+(g) + e- . Note that while ionization MUST be in the GASEOUS state electron affinity not necessarily have to. So dont used both terms as positive or negative loosely like that its just an indication of telling us what is going on whether the atom is loosing or gaining electron/s. hope this helps .
What is a covalent electron?
In covalent chemical bonds sometimes the electrons are loosely called "covalent electrons" as they are localised.
What is a material that allows electron to flow easily or with little resistance?
Those are the materials we loosely call "conductors".
The number of electrons determines what of an element?
The number of loosely held electrons determines the reactivity of an element. Other elements attract electrons and will react also.
