are made up of one or more metal. They have regular 3D lattice of positively charged ions. Metallic substances are bond together by metallic bond which has strong electrostatic attraction between the positive ions and the delocalised electrons. These delocalised electrons carry current giving metallic substance the ability to conduct electricity in solid or liquid form. Metallic substances are insoluble in water. Because of strong metallic bond‚ metallic substances have high melting point. It requires

Lensey Ford Mrs.Beckwith Pre-Ap Physical Science 23 November 2015 Revolving with Electrons Have you ever wondered exactly how the elements on the periodic table are organized‚ what the groups on the periodic table mean‚ and how electrons work in an atom‚ compound‚ and chemical bond? The way elements are organized on a periodic table has to do with the characteristics that they hold. There are groups‚ periods‚ compound formation and color coordination in a periodic table. The periodic

The notion of the atom all stared about 450 BC when a Greek scholar starting think when can something break on more‚ when are the pieces at their smallest‚ this mans name was Leucippus. Leucippus also had pupil who also thought the same way as Leucippus‚ his name was Democritus. They developed there ideas and when Democritus died his theory summed up briefly was that everything in the world was made of tiny pieced that could not be broken up any more. That how the word atom was derived from the Greek

Introduction: Some metals such as copper‚ silver and gold are very good conductors of electricity. This is because they all have only one electron on the outer shell. This means that they need only a tiny amount of energy in order to allow the electron to move. Non-metals‚ however‚ do not have free electrons‚ so even non-metals that only have one electron on their outer shell can still hold onto them tightly. Aim Of The Investigation: The aim of the investigation is to find out if there is a

Lesson Plan: Electric Circuits (~130 minutes) Concepts 1. Electricity is the flow of electric charge (electrons). 2. Electric Charge is a property of subatomic particles. 3. Current is the movement of electric charge. 4. Voltage is the electric potential that exists to move a charge. 5. Power is the rate at which electric energy is flowing in a circuit. 6. Ohm’s Law: Power = Voltage x Current. 7. Resistance is a physical property that quantifies how well a charge

protons as electrons‚ so it is neutral in charge. It is a single particle of a chemical event. When an atom gains or loses an electron it becomes an ion. Ions are charged‚ while atoms are uncharged. An ion has either a positive or negative charge because there are unequal numbers of electrons and protons. A positive ion is called a cation‚ while a negative ion is called an anion. 3. Define electronegativity and explain what it has to do with the behavior of outer-shell electrons.

Unit 1 What is inside an atom? * A positively charged nucleus composed of protons and neutrons * Electrons that surround the nucleus What are isotopes? Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons and different numbers of electrons How do we represent different atoms? What is specific charge? The specific charge of a particle is defined as its charge divided by its mass What keeps protons and neutrons in a nucleus together? A stable isotope has nuclei that do not disintegrate

atomic nuclei. This is how the nucleus of the atom is formed. The force is so strong that the minute particle that carries the force is called “gluon‚” which is means “glue” in Latin. The strength of this force is very particular. The protons and electrons are sensitive and have to be specifically arranged and a have the right distance apart. The weak force‚ also known as the weak interaction‚ maintains the balance of order within the nucleus of the atom. This balance of protons and neutrons guarantees

This proved that the atoms of one element at least were not indivisible. * 1911: Ernest Rutherford established that the nucleus was very dense‚ very small and positively charged. He also assumed that the electrons were located outside the nucleus. * 1922: Niels
