What kind of subatomic particle does not make up the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons.
Does AS3- lose or gain electrons?
The ion given is formed when the neutral arsenic atom gains three electrons.
For one kind of atom to become another kind of atom which particles of the atom need to be expelled or gained?
It is very unusual for one kind of atom to become another kind atom, however it does happen in radioactive processes. Every element is characterized by a distinct number of protons. For example, all hydrogen atoms have 1 proton, all helium atoms have 2 protons, etc. Atoms also include electrons and neutrons. However, adding or removing electrons or neutrons does not change the kind of atom. For example, a helium atom with 2 electrons or 1 electron is still a helium atom. Alpha decay is an example of a radioactive process in which the number of protons changes (and therefore the kind of atom changes). An alpha particle includes 2 protons and 2 neutrons. When it is expelled from an atom, a new kind atom is formed. This occurs when a uranium atom (92 protons) is changed into a thorium atom (90 protons) + an alpha particle.
Particles core of atom?
The particles that make up the core, or nucleus, of an atom are called protons and neutrons. Tiny particles called electrons orbit the nucleus.
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.
What are the three kind of particle inside an atom?
Protons, neutrons and electrons
What kind of electrons move into an atom?
positive
What are the three smaller forms of an atom?
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
How many electrons are in the second energy level of a boron atom?
A boron atom has three electrons in its second energy level.
What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atoms to atoms?
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.
What three particles are in the atom?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What kind of chemical bond will be formed between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons?
An ionic bond will form. Covalent bond, however, is when the two atoms share electrons when they bond.
How many electrons does lihtium have?
one lithium atom is having three(3) electrons
What kind of atom has less electrons than protons?
anion
When it transfers electrons what kind of shell is an atom left with?
An Ion
Does the number of electrons an atom has defines what kind of element it is?
yes
Three basic parts of an atom?
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
