What is the results of losing electrons?

when a neutral atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. it now has a stable outer most shell.


Why do halogens react so easily with Alkali Metals?

The electron configuration is why they react. The Alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell and to complete their outer shell need 7 more electrons. They can give, take or share electrons with other atoms. This is when the Halogens come in handy. The Halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, and need one more to complete the outer shell. These can react very easily because they have both the perfect amounts to fill their outer shells and become compounds. Other atoms with other amounts to become atoms not ions needs another element to react with. Hope this helps, Matt.


There are four electrons in every electron shell?

No, on the most inner shell, only 2 electrons can be held, but then on every other shell it is usally 8


Which electrons have the most energy in the atom?

The electrons placed near the nucleus.


Where are non-bonding electrons found?

The electrons in the valence shell are those most concerned with bonding and how that occurs. The "non-bonding" electrons are the ones in the inner shells, or the non-valence shells of an atom. Non-bonding electrons are also found in the valence shell. They are referred to as lone pairs. For example, in ammonia (NH3), nitrogen has one lone pair. In most circumstances, lone pair electrons do not form bonds (they do in a special type of covalent bond).

What are valence electron?

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer-most shell of the atom. These are typically the electrons involved in forming bonds with other atoms (as opposed to the other so-called "core" electrons which do not interact much with other atoms or molecules.)See the Related Questions links below for more information and for how to count the valence electrons of an atom.Any electrons located in the outer shell of an atom are known as valence electrons.Valence electrons are electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.
