Question

question 5 of 22 hin atoms, there is an ongoing relationship between the nucleus and the electrons. categorize the characteristics by whether they describe the nucleus or electrons. nucleus electrons answer bank attracts the negatively charged particles into the space surrounding it positively charged negatively charged can move from one atom to another can gain or lose energy can be shared between two atoms, bonding the atoms into a molecule

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the properties of the nucleus and electrons in an atom:

• Nucleus: Contains protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral). It has a positive charge, so it attracts negatively charged electrons.
• Electrons: Are negatively charged, can move between atoms, can gain/lose energy (e.g., during excitation/emission), and can be shared in covalent bonding.

Categorization:

• Nucleus:
• attracts the negatively charged particles into the space surrounding it (due to its positive charge, it pulls electrons).
• positively charged (protons in the nucleus give it a positive charge).
• Electrons:
• negatively charged (electrons have a negative charge).
• can move from one atom to another (e.g., in ionic bonding or conduction).
• can gain or lose energy (e.g., when moving between energy levels).
• can be shared between two atoms, bonding the atoms into a molecule (covalent bonding involves sharing electrons).

Answer:

Nucleus:

• attracts the negatively charged particles into the space surrounding it
• positively charged

Electrons:

• negatively charged
• can move from one atom to another
• can gain or lose energy
• can be shared between two atoms, bonding the atoms into a molecule
