The Atom
What does the atom make up?
Everything UwU
How many atoms are on the periodic table?
118 UwU
what is the difference between a cation and an anion
a cation is a positive charged ion and an anion is a negative charged ion.
what is nuclear decay?
Nuclear decay is when the nucleus of the atom is unstable.
how many shells does hydrogen have?
1
What charge does an electron have?
Negative Charge
What does Fe stand for?
Iron UwU
what is an ion?
Ions are positively charged particles by the cation or anions of electrons
what are the three types of decay?
alpha decay, beta decay and gamma decay.
8
true or false, atoms are the smallest particles
true
what does the group number tell you about the electron configuration?
how many electrons it has in its outer shell
what is an ionic compound?
When anions and cations come together and form compounds made up of crystal lattices.
true or false, nuclear decay happens everywhere
true UwU
are the electrons positive or negatively charged?
negative
When different elements bond what do they form.
compound UwU
What does period number tell you?
How many electron shells are in the atom
true or false, taking away an electron causes it to become a positively charged.
true UwU
why do atoms decay?
due to low energy nuclear configuration
true or false, the shells orbit around the nucleaus
true
Can atoms be made in labs?
yes UwU
What does Pb stand for?
Lead UwU
NA + 3, has it lost or gained electrons?
it has lost electrons.
what is nuclear decay used for?
it is used for medicine and academics.
How many electrons can be held in the first three shells?
18 UwU
