An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has a. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.
To be neutral an atom must have the <em>same number</em> of protons (+) and electrons (-).
Only then will the <em>charges cancel</em> and give a neutral atom.
Explanation:
Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.
Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;
- He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
- To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
- In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
- Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.
The answer is b) the highest occupied orbital is a “d”orbital.
Transition metals are metals where the highest energy electrons partially fill the d subshells. There are some elements with complete d subshells but on forming cations they have incomplete d subshells.
These transition metals have some properties that are different from the other metals .
