where electrons move around?

17
Q

nucleus

A

99.97% of an atoms mass, but only ten trillionth of its volume

18
Q

region where electrons are most likely to be found can be represented by

A

electron cloud

19
Q

number of protons and electron in each atom

A

atomic number

20
Q

what two charges have equal mass

A

protons and neutrons

21
Q

have very little mass

22
Q

how to compute the mass number of an element

A

add the number of protons and and neutrons

eg. the mass number for carbon is 12 bcoz it has 6 proton and 6 neutrons

23
Q

the energy levels often drawn as concentric rings around the nucleus called?

A

electron shell

24
Q

interaction between atoms to form molecules by either sharing or transferring their outermost electrons

A

chemical bonds

25
there is a maximum number of electrons that each shell can hold.
outer shells do not contain electrons until the inner shells have reached their maximum
26
what do you call the shell closest to the nucleus
innermost shell
27
the innermost shell can hold a maximum of how many electrons?
2 electrons
28
the remaining shell can hold electrons is the maximum number of?
8 electrons
29
what do you call the outermost shell?
valence shell
30
if an atom's valence shell is not at its maximum, it will form bonds with other atoms to achieve a full valence shell called?
octet rule
31
the tendency of atoms to combine with other atoms until each has 8 electrons in its valence shell
octet rule
32
the ways the octet rule can be achieved?
1. transferring electrons between atoms | 2. sharing electrons between atoms
33
the ability of the atoms nucleus to pull electrons toward it
electronegativity
34
the ability to do work
energy
35
when energy is actually doing work
kinetic energy
36
when the energy is stored or inactive
potential energy
