What makes the electron beam move backwards and forwards across the screen in cathode ray oscillpscopes?
Q. The deflection of a beam of electrons by an electric field is used in cathode ray oscilloscopes. What makes the electron beam move backwards and forwards across the screen? And, what makes the electron beam move up and down?
Asked by Wooo H - Fri Feb 12 05:27:53 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yeah exactly, the deflecting magnets around the electron gun deflect the electron beam from it's original path. let me tell you how. We know that the electrons are negatively charged, and also that negatively charged particles are attracted towards positive charged substances (here plates). difflection plates are nothing but two plates having potential differnce between them. that means one has positive charge and other has negative charge of the same amount. The verticle difflection plate has its positive plate either up or down, while the horizontle positive difflection pate can be on either side of CRO (Cathod ray oscilloscope). When we have to make a displacement of the beam verticaly than we give a positive charge to the verticle… [cont.]

How can you tell the number of valence electrons Selenium has by its electron configuration?
Q. The electron configuration is: 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 4s^2, 3d^10, 4p^4 . It has 6 valence electrons. Nonetheless, the valence shell is 4, and the highest number of electrons on one of the valence shell ones is 4 electrons, so how does it have 6?
Asked by hmm - Sat Dec 13 18:01:02 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell (not subshell), which in this case corresponds to the n=4 principal energy level. Selenium indeed has 6 electrons in n=4. These are the two 4s electrons and the four 4p electrons. I hope this helps!

When the free electron of a free radical invades a pair of electrons of another atom forming?
Q. a new pair of electrons, (and the new pair holds the two atoms of the electrons together) does the removed electron (the third electron) move on it's own to another pair not being a part of an atom. Can electrons move without being part of an atom. Isn't that something like electricity?

A. there are different issues here. radical like chlorine atom (generated by shining light onto Cl2) has been used as initial step for formation of chloroalkane. Cl-Cl -> Cl. + Cl. Cl. + H-CH3 -> HCl + .CH3 Cl. + .CH3 -> CH3Cl electrons don't move away from the atom to generate ions in nonmetal elements. but they do move away in metals, that's called delocalization or metallic bond.

How far is the electron from the origin when it momentarily stops?
Q. An electron moving along the x axis has a position given by x = 19te^-4t m, where t is in seconds. How far is the electron from the origin when it momentarily stops?
Asked by freddydiaz25 - Wed Feb 25 00:47:53 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The electron "stops momentarily" when its velocity is 0. If x(t) = 19 t e^-4t, then v(t) = dx/dt = v(t) = 19 [e^-4t + t(-4)e^-4t] = 19 e^-4t [1 - 4t] so v(t) = 0 when [1 - 4t] = 0 solve for t and plug into x(t) to get your answer.

Q. What is electron degeneracy? How is this concept necessary to understand a white dwarf?
Asked by SS - Fri Apr 24 19:04:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Electron degeneracy is a result of the extreme pressure inside a white dwarf. The electrons are compressed so tightly that they are forced into higher energy states (degenerate state). The high-energy electrons create an outward pressure that opposes the white dwarf's gravitational pressure and keeps it in an equilibrium state.

Find out the electron arrangement when given the number of neutrons?
Q. I have chemistry homework, and I haven't got a clue on how to do this question. I basically have to find out the electron arrangement, when given the number of protons/ electrons/ neutrons. I don't understand electron arrangement either, so that doesn't help. So can someone tell me how to calculate electron arrangement without being too complicated? Wait, am I meant to find out what element it is from the atomic number, then look up the electron arrangement?
Asked by :D - Sat Oct 24 14:32:23 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'll try and do it as simply as possible. The relative atomic mass (the atomic number) is at the top of a period. i believe this the number of protons which have a positive charge and neutrons which have no charge. The little number on the bottom left hand side on a period of the periodic table tells you how many electrons there are. Secondly an electron structure has several circular shells where the electrons wizz about. for example carbon has 6 electrons so in the first shell there would be 2 electrons then 4. the electron structure goes 2,8,8 so you need to find out the elements number than look it up than read the number of electrons and put in circles in 2,8,8. i really hope this helps you with it.

How to count valence electrons of an element just by looking at its electron configuration?
Q. On a multiple choice ? I had, electron configurations of various elements were given, and a ? was "which of the following elements {by looking at its electron config.} has one valence electron. The answer ended up being Cr, but how can you tell?
Asked by bloopers012345 - Fri Dec 5 01:01:47 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outer most energy level. The electron configuration for Cr is [Ar] 3d5 4s1 since 4 is the outer most level, you see it has 1 electron. If you look at F, it has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p5. It's outer most level is 2 so if you add all the electrons in 2 , it = 7 valence electrons. The reason Cr is not 3d4 4s2 is that the half filled d sublevel is at a lower energy state so the e moves out of the 4s in order to give it the lower energy configuration.

A. I(electron) get kicked out of my valence band and I am free from the attraction of the nucleus. Now, there is an field around me(due to applied voltage) which pushes me towards my goal. That goal, is the terminal having lesser potential. Now, coming to travel, I will bounce off other atoms when trying to reach my goal. Due to this bounce, I will lose some energy but ultimately will complete my voyage.

Asked by wankerfromacrosstheroad - Wed Oct 10 21:09:14 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The electron can be promoted from the ground state to a higher energy level state (one that is normally unoccupied). This is unstable and the electron will normally find a way to return to the ground state by releasing this energy (emitting light or other means). If the photon is energetic enough, it may also knock the electron off the atom, leaving it as a +1 ion.
