What else can I help you with?
What do we mean when we say a nucleus has undergone an electron capture process?
You will recall that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom (or in quantum mechanical terms, they surround the nucleus as a cloud). Under some circumstances, one of those orbiting electrons can fall into the nucleus, where it will react with a proton and convert it into a neutron. This is an electron capture process.
What is the likelihood of locating an electron at the nucleus, given the electron probability distribution in an atom?
The likelihood of locating an electron at the nucleus is very low, as the electron probability distribution in an atom shows that the electron is most likely to be found in regions farther away from the nucleus.
What is the process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus?
The process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus is called electron capture. In this process, an electron is absorbed by a proton in the nucleus, converting the proton into a neutron and releasing a neutrino. This results in a more stable arrangement of particles in the nucleus.
What particle is not located in the nucleus proton electron neutron quark?
The electron is not located in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while quarks are subatomic particles that make up protons and neutrons.
Which subatomic particle can be found in the area outside the nucleus of an atom?
The three subatomic particles are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus in the electron cloud.
In order to fall closer to the nucleus an electron must do what?
The respective electron has to lose energy.
Why electron does not fall in nucleus to attack towards proton?
awaa
The farther an electron is from the nucleus the?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
Is the nucleus a region in which there is a good chance of finding an electron?
An electron is what orbits the nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons
Where is the location of an electron outside of the nucleus?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
What do we mean when we say a nucleus has undergone an electron capture process?
You will recall that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom (or in quantum mechanical terms, they surround the nucleus as a cloud). Under some circumstances, one of those orbiting electrons can fall into the nucleus, where it will react with a proton and convert it into a neutron. This is an electron capture process.
The particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is the?
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
