To match: The subatomic particle with the right phrase that describes it.
Answer to Problem 1CRQ
Correct answer:
Electron | (c) negatively charged. |
(e) adding or losing these makes an atom into an ion. |
Explanation of Solution
Electron – (c). negatively charged and (e). adding or losing these makes an atom into an ion.
Electrons are the subatomic particles that revolve around the nucleus of the atom in their orbits. These are negatively charged particles. If they are added to an atom or lost from an atom, an ion is generated. If an electron is lost from an atom, the ion that is formed is called a cation and it is a positively charged ion. If an electron is added to other atom, then the ion that is formed is called an anion and it is a negatively charged ion.

- Polonium is a rare element with 33 radioisotopes. The most common one, 210Po, has 82 protons and 128 neutrons. When 210Po decays, it emits an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). 210Po decay is tricky to detect because alpha particles do not carry very much energy compared to other forms of radiation. For example, they can be stopped by a single sheet of paper or a few inches of air. That is one reason that authorities failed to discover toxic amounts of 210Po in the body of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko until after he died suddenly and mysteriously in 2006.

- A. The first shell corresponds to the first energy level, and it can hold up to 2 electrons. Hydrogen has one proton, so it has 1 electron and one vacancy. A helium atom has 2 protons, 2 electrons, and no vacancies. B. The second shell corresponds to the second energy level, and it can hold up to 8 electrons. Carbon has 6 electrons, so its first shell is full. Its second shell has 4 electrons and four vacancies. Oxygen has 8 electrons and two vacancies. Neon has 10 electrons and no vacancies. C. The third shell corresponds to the third energy level, and it can hold up to 8 electrons. A sodium atom has 11 electrons, so its first two shells are full; the third shell has one electron. Thus, sodium has seven vacancies. Chlorine has 17 electrons and one vacancy. Argon has 18 electrons and no vacancies.

In the periodic table of the elements, elements in a single column have the same number of electrons that can participate in a chemical reaction. These electrons are known as valence electrons. For example, the elements in the first column all have a single valence electron—an electron that can be donated in a chemical reaction with another atom.
