HELP PLEASE What makes up most of an atom's volume, and where is it located?

Chemistry
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Accounting for the sizes of protons, neutrons, and electrons, most of the volume of an atom—greater than 99 percent—is, in fact, empty space. ... The electrons that surround all atoms are negatively charged and cause atoms to repel one another, preventing atoms from occupying the same space.

Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

8. Bring the balloon in contact with the wall. What happens to the charges in the wall?
Ne4ueva [31]

When the charged balloon is brought near the wall, it repels some of the negatively charged electrons in that part of the wall. Therefore, that part of the wall is left repelled.

<u>Explanation</u>:  

  • Balloons don't stick to walls. However, if you rub the balloon on an appropriate piece of material such as clothing or a wall, electrons are pulled from the other material to the balloon.
  • The balloon now as more electrons than normal and therefore has an overall negative charge. Two balloons like this will repel each other.
  • The other material now has an overall positive charge. Because opposite charges attract, the balloon will now appear to stick to the other material. If you didn't rub the balloon first, it's charge would be neutral and it wouldn't stick to the wall.
