Answer:
(C) Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom.
Explanation:
In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons are arranged in energy levels. The electrons in the lowest energy levels are nearest to the nucleus. An electron may move from a lower to a higher energy level by absorbing energy that is equal to the difference between the energies of the higher and lower energy level.
The potential energy of all electrons inside the atom have negative values and an electron which is infinitely far from the nucleus has an electrostatic potential energy of zero.
Energy is absorbed when an electron is removed from the atom (ionization). Hence the process is highly endothermic. Therefore it is false to say that "Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom."
Answer:
Model A
Explanation:
Model A represents an atom that is more reactive than the others represented.
Valence electrons actually determine the reactivity of elements. They also determine the properties of elements.
Elements with one valence electron are highly reactive because they need low energy to remove them. They can either gain more electrons to become stable or they share/give out their electrons.
Therefore, Model A is the correct answer because it has one valence electron and its valence electron is farther from the nucleus thereby this makes it more reactive.
