Why do some websites say that the drawing of the atom has four shells , when you can fit them in three shells?
Q. I thought the first shell could hold two , the second shell could hold eight , and the third shell could hold eighteen? So why do some people draw it with two in the first shell , eight in the second shell , three in the thirdshell , and then two in a fourth shell ? If they could just put twelve in the third shell?
Asked by Xx DELASi xX - Sat Apr 4 13:25:48 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The third electron shell can actually only hold 8. If you want an easy way to remember the number of electrons a shell can hold, divide your periodic table into rows and then count the number of elements in that row. H to He - 2 Li to Ne - 8 Na to Ar - 8 K to Kr - 18 Rb to Xe - 18 Cs to Rn - 34? I forget.

A. To answer your question, no there isn't. The best microscope we have these days is an electron microscope. That will not be able to see electrons (common sense). Also, it is kind of bad to fire electrons into atoms. It will get repelled, etc. We can only get theoretical images of atoms - otherwise, the best we can see are electron CLOUDS - look that up on google.

A. it's asking you to draw an atom using the given information from its atomic box. It's called an atomic box such as the ones you see on a periodic table. In this problem, you're working with element Si, or silicon. first, you need to know # of protons = atomic number # of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number # of electrons = # of protons in the atomic box: the top value is the atomic number the symbol is the element symbol the bottom value is the atomic mass in the atomic model: protons and neutrons are in the nucleus electrons are surrounding the nucleus, orbiting in energy shells with this information, you can easily draw a model. They gave you a circle to represent the nucleus, where the protons and neutrons are in. so let's… [cont.]

When you are drawing a lewis structure what do you do if one of the terminal atoms doesn't have an octet?
Q. For instance Im draw a lewis structure for Sulfate and there should be a total of 11 electron pairs. I have one terminal atom with only 3 pairs what do I do?
Asked by momoftwo - Mon Jul 28 23:20:00 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You probably did not add the total electrons correctly. For a cation subtrac as many electrons as the + charge and for anions add as many electrons as the - charge. For sulfate you would have 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 26 (Six each for the S and Os and 2 for the -2 charge)

A. What does an Al atom look like? Nobody knows what an aluminum atom or any atom actually looks like. They have never been seen. There is a tiny nucleus with some protons and neutrons (which no one has ever seen), surrounded by some electrons (which no one has every seen). The atom is maybe 10,000 times bigger than the nucleus, and composed primarily of nothing but empty space. Good luck. Ok. Check out these diagrams:

Asked by boo - Wed Jul 25 12:54:19 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. draw a lewis structure of what? Thanks for posting additional details. Formal charge is NOT oxidation number. Formal charge assume all atoms have the same electronegativity. So, what you need to draw the structures first. BF4- has 4 B-F single bond you just split those bonds equally. each atom gets 1 electron. B will end up with 4. F will end up with 7 (1 from bond and 3 lone pairs) Then compare to the atomic form. B is group 3, that means it had 3 electrons to begin with. Now there are 4, so it gains 1. That makes the formal charge -1 since elctron is negative. F had 7 to begin with, now still 7, so formal charge is 0. ClNO, Nitrosyl chloride has 1 single bond between Cl and N, a double bond between N and O. Now split them… [cont.]

What is inside an atom's nucleus?
Q. I would have to say "thought". My idea is that thought become things, they become matter that we experience. and so our thoughts whether it be negative or positive, will draw atoms together to create our experience of that thing. Just like thought, there are billions of possibilities existing at the same time on different levels, like energy. Thus, there are parallel universes happening at the same time. However, being that we are physical those thoughts have a time barrier, that enables us to chose and re-chose. All the tools of electromagnetisim and general relativity are created by atoms, which combine to form a larger scale. The nucleus of those atoms contain thought.

A. My friend, after many years of discoveries, it is said that any atom has two main parts: the nucleus located at the inner center and the girating orbitals. Into the nucleus are located the protons(+) and neutrons; these particles constitute the real weight of the atom. At the orbitals, the electrons(-) are located; they are really the smallest particles of an atom, so they do not count for the weight of the atom, but of course play a big role because the electrons are the responsible particles to conform the valence or chemical activity of the entire atom. So, to start, You can draw a nice small sphere to be the nucleus, and around this sphere You have to draw the orbitals. The rule is more or less as follows: The first level orbital… [cont.]
