OF SOLIDS According to quantum free electron theory of metals‚ a electron in a metal experiences constant(or zero) potential and free to move inside the crystal but will not come out of the metal because an infinite potential exists at the surface. Bloch Theorem: According to this theorem‚ the periodic potentials due to the positive ions in metal have been considered. (i.e. the electrons moves in a periodic potential provided by lattice). If the electron moves through these ions‚ it experiences

physicist‚ J.J. Thomson‚ shortly after discovering electrons‚ proposed his Plum-Pudding model of the atom. He based this model on the two facts that he knew at the time: 1. atoms contain small negatively charged particles called electrons and 2. atoms behave as if they have no charge at all‚ meaning they are electrically neutral. Thomson assumed there must be something in an atom that was positively charged that would neutralize the electrons negative charge. His proposal was a model for the atom

there are two types of bonds that may form between them: Ionic bonds result from a transfer of electrons from one species (usually a metal) to another (usually a nonmetal or polyatomic ion). Covalent bonds result from a sharing of electrons by two or more atoms (usually nonmetals). Lewis theory (Gilbert Newton Lewis‚ 1875-1946) focuses on the valence electrons‚ since the outermost electrons are the ones that are highest in energy and farthest from the nucleus‚ and are therefore the ones that

greater understanding of the universe. Specifically‚ we gain better understanding of how the structure of the atom works‚ as we study the interaction of small particles which gives us a better understanding of the world. The data which we have on how electrons and atoms interact is gathered mostly on observations alone. For example‚ the properties of hydrogen atoms can distinguish between the different tissues and muscles within the human body‚ this is because the human body consists of 63% of hydrogen

atom‚ a metal makes a contribution of an electron and becomes a optimistic ion‚ and when another‚ a nonmetal received an electron and becomes pessimistic ion. Metal donate electrons and non-metals receives electrons. For example is Na is positive and CL is negative. The covalent bonds share the electrons and they are normally nonpolar. The covalent bonding does not donate or gain electrons such as CH4. The ionic compounds tend to have eight electrons to keep in the highest energy level. The

3.1 a) Valence electron: Valence electrons are the electron in the outermost electron shells of an atom. They are generally the electrons involved in chemical reactions and bonding with other atoms. b) Lewis electron: It is a structural demonstration of a molecule where you can use dots to show the position of the electron around the atoms and lines. c) Octet rule: It is referring to the principle that bonded atoms share their eight outer electrons. There rule of the octet is sometimes broken

contact When two objects are rubbed together there is more contact between the surfaces and so more electrons are transferred Electron Affinity: Electron affinity is the tendency of a substance to hold onto electrons. Items high on the list (electrostatic/ triboelectric series) will tend to lose electrons easily (positive) Items low on the list will tend to gain electrons easily‚ or hold on to their electrons example: glass rubbed with plastic wrap glass is above plastic wrap glass will become positive

11/19/14 Modeling Molecules Introduction: You can represent a molecule two-dimensionally‚ as a structural formula or electron dot structure. Although such models are useful in certain contexts‚ they do not accurately represent bond angles between atoms or shapes of molecules. In this activity‚ you will construct three-dimensional models of several molecules. You will use electron dot structures and structural formulas to inform how you construct the three-dimensional models. Materials: Google Microsoft

Sharing Electrons Example~ A hydrogen atom has one electron. If it had two electrons‚ it would have the same electron configuration as a helium atom. Two hydrogen atoms can achieve a stable electron configuration by sharing their electrons and forming a Covalent bond. A covalent bond is a chemical bond in which two atoms share a pair of valence electrons. When two atoms shair one pair of electrons‚ the bond is called a singe bond. Molecules of Elements Two hydrogen atoms bonded together

Karla Alvarez Chemistry Period One Subatomic Particle The electron is extremely small compared to all the other parts of the atom. It is negatively charged. The negative charge balances out the positive charge of the protons in the atom. Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The clouds are generally organized into shells. Electrons move at a quick pace‚ so you never really know where they are specifically. But after years of doing experiments‚ scientists
