The Structure of Atoms and Electron Behavior in Radiation

This video tutorial from freesciencelessons.co.uk covers the basic structure of atoms, including the size and composition of the nucleus, and the arrangement of electrons in energy levels. It explains how electrons can change energy levels by absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation. The video also highlights the overlap between physics and chemistry in this topic and provides additional resources for further study.

• 1 x 10^-15 meters

• 1 x 10^-20 meters

Which particles are found in the nucleus of an atom?

• Protons and neutrons

• Electrons and protons

• Neutrons and electrons

• Protons and positrons

What charge does the nucleus of an atom have?

• Neutral

• Positive

• Variable

• Negative

What is the charge of an electron?

• Neutral

• Negative

• Variable

• Positive

Which of the following is true about the mass of an atom?

• Most of the mass is in the nucleus

• Mass is negligible

• Most of the mass is in the electrons

• Mass is evenly distributed between electrons and nucleus

How do energy levels of electrons vary with distance from the nucleus?

• Energy levels closer to the nucleus have higher energy

• Energy levels further from the nucleus have higher energy

• All energy levels have the same energy

• Energy levels closer to the nucleus have variable energy

What happens to an electron when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation?

• It remains in the same energy level

• It moves to a higher energy level

• It moves to a lower energy level

• It is ejected from the atom

What occurs when an electron emits electromagnetic radiation?

• It is absorbed by the nucleus

• It moves to a higher energy level

• It remains in the same energy level

• It moves to a lower energy level

What is the relationship between energy levels and electromagnetic radiation?

• Energy levels determine the type of electromagnetic radiation emitted

• Electromagnetic radiation only affects the nucleus

• Electromagnetic radiation can cause electrons to change energy levels

• Energy levels are unaffected by electromagnetic radiation
