Question

Explain why it is so much easier to remove an electron from an atom of large atomic weight than it is to remove proton?

Answer 1

Its easiy .. U know electrons revovle around nucleus and proton reside inside Nucleus so , the force inside is stonger than the force outside holding the electrons in orbit

Answer 2

hmm thanks

Answer 3

electrons are out side the nucleus. so the attraction between positive charge[nucleus] and negatively charged electrons is more. when coming to large atom, as the distance between electron and proton increases it becomes easier to remove it. when coming to protons, they are bonded by binding energy and bounded within a region called nucleus. so to remove it from the core of the nucleus overcoming all the forces present in it becomes more difficult.

Answer 4

you are also right @prasadbulusu
