Valence Electrons
The outermost shell of an atom is known as the valence shell. The electrons present in the valence shell are called valence electrons. K L M Na - 11 - 2 8 1 Valence shell - M Valence electrons - 1 Core electrons - 2 + 8 = ..

The electronic configurations of some of the elements are detailed below. How many valence and core electrons do the following have?(a) Al : 2, 8, 3(b) Mg: 2, 8, 2(c) Cl : 2, 8, 7(d) Ca : 2, 8, 8..
Electricity and Matter
It is important to know the atomic picture of matter. The basic unit of all matter is an 'atom'. Each atom consists of a small core called nucleus which accounts to most of its mass consisting of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons and surrounded by lighter negatively ch..

Third Row Elements
electronic configuration of sodium Third Row Elements - The third row elements are from sodium to argon. The build up of these eight elements proceeds exactly in the same manner as discussed above. Here 3s- and 3p-orbitals are filled in place of 2s- and 2p-orbitals as has been done in case of Li to Ne. For e.g., the electronich..
Rutherford's Atom Model (Main Features)
Rutherford s atomic model (i) Every atom consists of a nucleus containing the entire +ve charge. The whole mass of atom is concentrated at this core. (ii) The size of the nucleus i.e., 10 - 1 5 m is very small compared to the size of the atom (i.e., 10 - 1 0 m). (iii) The atom as a whole is electrically n..
Structure of Chromosomes
fig. 19.3 Structure of Chromosomes The terminal end of a chromosome is called as telomere. It is functionally different from the rest of the chromosome. A chromatid may breakup into pieces and the pieces may rejoin, but no segment becomes connected to the telomere. Thus, the telomere shows a sort o..
Atomic Nucleus
atomic nucleus It is the central core of the atom where the entire +ve charge and mass is concentrated. It is a tiny sphere of diameter ranging from 10 - 1 5 m to 10 - 1 4 m. A nucleus is made up of particles called neutrons and protons. A neutron does not carry any charge while a proton does (+..
Summary
Dalton had postulated that matter is made up of atoms, which are indivisible. Thomson was the first to suggest a structure for an atom. According to him, an atom is a positively charged sphere of radius=10 - 1 0 m in which the mass and the positive charge of the atom are uniformly distributed...

She should be the head of Tutor Vista. She knows how to treat her students. Her teaching style is spectacular.
Very fast and clear. Made sure I understood the concepts instead of giving the answers to the problem.
This Tutor Vista is GREAT! loved this session, it helped me heaps.
I like the way this tutors double check the work with me and took time to explain each detail. It really helped me to better understand - Harry
