The part of an atom that is actively exchanged or shared in a chemical bond is ELECTRON.
An atom is made up of three sub particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up the major mass of the atom. The electron is located outside of the nucleus and it orbit around the nucleus; it has negligible mass. The electron is negatively charged and because it is located outside of the nucleus, it is the one that is always involved in chemical reactions. There are different types of chemical bonds in chemical compounds and it is electrons that are normally used to form these bonds. During bond formation, electrons can either be donated or shared.
Answer:
The behavior of molecules in different phases of matter represents a balance between the kinetic energies of the molecules and the attractive forces between them. All molecules are attracted to each other. The molecules are in the solid-state. At higher temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher.
Mass spectrometry was discovered by Francis Aston, a British Physicist, in 1919. This involves separating mixtures of substances into their components and transforming them into beams of particles and subsequently, bending them with the use of electricity and magnetism to come up with a spectrum that is inherently unique for every individual atoms for easy identification.
