ljdenc Flashcards
Positive and negative
Attract each other. This is the process that holds the atom together because the protons will attract the valence electrons, therefore keeping the atom stuck together.
Positive and positive
Repels each other. This process is counteracted by the neutrons keeping the nucleus together in the atom by having the protons stick to the neutrons
Negative and negative
They also repel each other. That process weakens the grip that the protons have on the electrons because the valence electrons will be repelled by the other electrons.
Denatrification
The opposite of Nitrogen Fixation, where the nitrogen is put back into the form that it was in before being fixed.
Neutron location
In the nucleus
Electron location
In the electron cloud
