<h2>Changes Occurs when a Barium Atom - Option 3 </h2>
When a barium atom loses two electrons it becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases. Barium (Ba) has atomic number 56 so it has 2 electrons in first shell of an atom to become stable according to duplet rule. Then other 52 electrons revolve in the shells according to octet rules.
Another 2 electrons are in the outermost shell. To become stable electrons lose to form barium ions (Ba+2). Hence, by losing 2 electrons the outermost shell will be diminished so its radius decreases and by losing electrons it becomes positive ions.
Answer:
They are attracted to one other without coming into contact.
Explanation:
In conclusion, an electrically neutral object is an object that has a balance of protons and electrons. In contrast, a charged object has an imbalance of protons and electrons. The type of charge (positive or negative) is determined by whether the protons or the electrons are in excess
Answer:
A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus
Explanation:
- Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.
- It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.
- The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms involving in a covalent bond must not exceed the value of 1.7 .
Thus, the electrons are attracted by the two different nucleus of the atoms that are taking part in the bonding.
<u>So, the correct answer is:- A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus</u>
Answer:
More electronegative
Explanation:
The oxygen and nitrogen in ammonia shows that they are more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms.
- Electronegativity shows the affinity of an atom for valence electrons.
- Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.
The oxygen atom in water and the nitrogen atom in ammonia are more electronegative.
They attract the electrons more and they then become negatively charged.
The hydrogen will then become positively charged in the shared covalency.
