The nucleus is very small compared to the atom as a whole: as electrons are even smaller, most of an atom is empty space the diameter of a nucleus can be 100,000 times less than the diameter of an ...

The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic compound sodium chloride is formed. A sodium and chlorine atom are near each other. An electron from each atom feels the attraction from the other atom ...

The “lead” of a pencil is actually made of a substance called graphite which is made of carbon atoms. The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and ...

The atom economy of a chemical reaction is a measure of the percentage of reactants that become useful products. Inefficient, wasteful processes have low atom economies. Efficient processes have ...
