relationship between the core charge and valence electrons. When moving across a period each element will have the same number of shells‚ but each of their core charges are going to be different. The core charges become higher the farther across the period you move. An increase of core charge‚ means a decrease in shells making it harder to pull electrons away because they are closer to the nucleus‚ which causes for there to be a great attraction between the nucleus and electrons. When looking at moving down

Core Module 1: The Chemical Earth Contextual Outline The Earth includes a clearly identifiable biosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere and atmosphere. All of these are mixtures of thousands of substances and the use of this pool of resources requires the separation of useful substances. The processes of separation will be determined by the physical and chemical properties of the substances. In order to use the Earth’s resources effectively and efficiently‚ it is necessary to understand the properties

reasoning behind how this could produce a signal. We know that electromagnetic radiation is produced by accelerating charges. In the radio transmitter‚ electrons oscillate up and down and are thus accelerating. An electron will exert a force on another electron when they are some distance away‚ like charges repel. When the electron in the transmitter oscillates up and down‚ the direction of the force it exerts changes since the source of the force is moving. It takes some time for the change

type of bonding which holds the atoms together in metal crystal. Valence electron: The electrons in the outer most energy level in an atom that takes part in chemical bonding are called valence electrons. Bonding electrons: The valence electrons actually involved in bond formation are called bonding electrons. Octet rule: In chemical bond formation‚ atoms interact- (i) by losing‚ (ii) by gaining or (iii) by sharing electrons to acquire a stable noble gas configuration.

1.1 The atoms‚ during bond formation‚ may lose or gain electrons (valence electrons) in order to achieve a stable state‚ or technically speaking‚ a stable electron configuration. Usually metal atoms lose electrons and non-metals gain electrons in order to achieve electron stability. When dealing with bond formation (Ionic bonding for example) we need to analyse the outer shell of the atom. Metals usually present 1‚ 2 or 3 electrons in their outer shell therefore they have to give them away to achieve

key parameters to describe an exciton? An exciton is a bound state of an electron and a hole in an insulator (or semiconductor)‚ or in other words‚ a Coulomb correlated electron/hole pair. It is an elementary excitation of a solid. A vivid picture of exciton formation is as follows: a photon enters a semiconductor‚ exciting an electron from the valence band into the conduction band. The missing electron in the valence band leaves a hole behind‚ of opposite electric charge‚ to which it is attracted
