I'll work through this electricity worksheet step by step.
Question 1: Label the parts of the atom and their charges
- The center (nucleus) contains protons (+) and neutrons (no charge)
- Electrons (-) orbit around the nucleus
Question 2: Label and explain what is happening with the above two atoms
The diagram shows electron transfer between atoms. An electron from the outer shell of one atom moves to another atom, creating ions.
Question 3: This diagram shows...
This shows electric current flowing through a conductor. Negative charges (electrons) move in one direction while positive charges appear to move in the opposite direction.
Questions 4-10:
4. All matter is made of
atoms
5. Small particles in an atom have an
electric charge
6. Electrons have a
negative charge
7. Protons have a
positive charge
8. Inner orbiting electrons are called
bound electrons or
core electrons
9. Outer orbiting electrons are called
valence electrons or
free electrons
10. We use wires to produce an orderly
flow of electricity or
electric current
Let me verify these answers make sense in the context of basic electricity concepts for students...
Yes, these answers align with fundamental concepts about atomic structure and electricity that would be taught at this level.
Final Answer:
1. Nucleus (protons +, neutrons neutral), Electrons (-)
2. Electron transfer/ionic bonding - electrons moving between atoms
3. Electric current in a conductor
4. atoms
5. electric
6. negative
7. positive
8. bound electrons (or core electrons)
9. valence electrons (or free electrons)
10. flow of electricity (or electric current)
