Is the process of unstable atoms trying to become stable by emitting energy that is at a level high enough to ionize.?
Yes, unstable atoms can become stable by emitting excess energy in the form of ionizing radiation such as gamma rays, alpha particles, or beta particles. This process helps the atom achieve a more stable configuration by releasing the excess energy stored in its nucleus.
Nuclear charge increases across a period atoms become?
The atoms become smaller in atomic radius.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
Why do atoms want to combine?
Atoms combine in order to become stable, which for most atoms means having 8 valence electrons.
How do hydrogen atoms form helium atoms after the big bang?
By a nuclear fusion reaction: H + H + 2n ==>> He Yes, this is true. I want, here, to put it into a better picture for common folk. This Bang is similar to the nuclear furnace that is out Sun. There, hydrogen atoms are fusing to other hydrogen atoms. It happens because gravity strength forces them together. The result is a helium atom(s) plus excess energy. That excess radiation is what blinds you when you try to look at the sun.
