Describe how valence electrons in a metal move?
The characteristic that allows some metals to be better conductors of electricity is that they have 'free electrons'. Free Electrons simply means that there is a weaker bond between the electrons on the outer valence shell to the nucleus of the atom, than other atoms. This weak bond allows electrons in metals to become more easily excited (when mechanical means of generation occurs), where the electrons are able to transfer from one atom to another.I imagine this is what the question is asking. Basically, electricity is inherent in the material. Metals have weak bonds in their outer valence electron shell.A: In metals, the atoms move freely, allowing heat to travel faster. :)
What happens to the stability of atom when they form covalent electrons?
The term 'covalent' is usually applied to a bond in the context of chemistry; electrons are the particles that participate in bonding. The act of bonding helps atoms achieve a stable configuration, one way of achieving this is by sharing its outer electrons in a bond. One might say the stability of an atom increases thereby.
What is the charge on atom if it gains electrons?
Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
Does a conductor has many positive electrons?
No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.
How do you figure out how many electrons are in a tungsten atom?
To find it you must go to the periodic table and read the two numbers one is the mass number (top one) the other is the atomic number(bottom) you need that one to find the number of electrons 183 W 74
What is the only particle in a atom that is able to move from one atom to another?
Electrons can move from one atom to another during the formation of an ionic bond. In ionic bonding, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion.
Why do atoms give us electricity?
Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another. When those electrons move between the atoms, a current of electricity is created. The electrons move from one atom to another in a "flow." One electron is attached and another electron is lost.
When an atom has one or more electrons in higher energy levels?
An atom has multiple energy levels. When an atom has more electrons than it can fit into an energy level, then it puts them into the next higher energy level.
A solid in which electrons are able to move about easily from one atom to another is called a?
conductor
What is a solid in which electrons are not able to move easily from one atom to another?
i love my mommy
When an atom absorbs energy that causes one of its electrons to move to a higher energy level the atom is said to be in?
Excited state
What exactly is electricity?
Electricity is defined as the rapid movement of electrons from one atom to another, (multiplied by millions of times), which then creates an electrical charge. The force that causes the electrons to move from atom to atom is voltage.
How does electrons transfer from one atom to another?
When we apply potential difference to a conductor, by potential force, free electrons gets energy and move low to high potential thus electrons move one atom to other atom.
What is produced as electrons move from one carrier to the next?
the ATP generated
How an insulator work?
All atoms have electrons that orbit the nucleus, we are concerned with the outermost orbit. The outer orbit shell can have from 1 to 8 electrons. The fewer electrons an atom has in this orbit the better it is at conduction (one or two electrons, it is easy to knock one of the electrons out of orbit and pass to the next atom). The more electrons you have, the better it is at insulating. Nothing is a perfect insulator, if you apply enough voltage the electrons will move (current will flow). This is why the insulation on conductors have a voltage rating.
Why is the bond in an ionic compound is so strong?
Just remember that an atom has protons and electrons. Looking at an ionic bond at the molecular level, one atom takes electrons from the other atom. Now, one of the atoms has more electrons than the other. Look at the atom that lost electrons - it's missing a shell; there is less electron shielding, and a lot more places for the protons in the nucleus to attract electrons. Conveniently, the atom right next to this one has an abundance of electrons, and they are both attracted to each other. --> Think of the atom that lost electrons as positively charged, and the atom that gained electrons negatively charged.
What is current of electricity?
Current is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. Current is measured in amps.
