What element electron configurations would represent a halogen?

∙ 13y ago
The halogens are is group VII (17), and thus they all have 7 valence electrons. These will be located in different energy levels for the different halogens, but since they are all also p-block elements, they will all have ns^2 np^5 electron configurations, where n is the period number. Examples: Cl will be [Ne] 3s^2 3p^5 and Br will be [Ar] [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5 (note the inclusion of the d-block electrons for Br).

Which element has the electron configuration He2s2 2p5?
The answer is carbon
Is K a halogen?
Potassium is a metal element. It is not a halogen. Example for halogen is Chlorine.
How Manu valence electrons does fluorine have?
Fluorine is a chemical element in the halogen group. It's electron structure is 1s2 2s2 2p5. That means that it has 6 valence electrons.
What does a halogen atom give off when it gains an electron?
NOTHING
What is the electron configuration for astatine?
The radioactive element actinium (atomic number 89) has the electron configuration [Rn] 6d1 7s2
The halogen element that has the most attraction for the hydrogen electron is?
Fluorine.
The element iodine is a halogen True or false?
No,. The halogens will gain 1 electron when they react if electrons are exchanged.
What is the characteristics about the outer electron shells of halogens?
Each halogen element has an outer shell that lacks one electron of being full.
Which element has the electron configuration He2s2 2p5?
The answer is carbon
How many outer shell electron does an atom of an element belonging to the halogen family have?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
The element bromine is not a halogen?
No, Bromine is a Halogen
What element has less than one halogen existing on the earth?
Any element, other than a halogen is - by definition - not a halogen and so it does not have a halogen and that is less than one halogen.
Is K a halogen?
Potassium is a metal element. It is not a halogen. Example for halogen is Chlorine.
Why is fuorine an element?
Fluorine is an element. It is a halogen.
Halogen with the least-negative electron affinity?
The halogen with the least-negative electron affinity is astatine. Electron affinity and electronegativities decreases down a group. Since astatine is the last halogen located in Group 17 as you move down the column from fluorine, it has the least negative electron affinity.
Why are the elements in the halogen family very reactive?
The elements in the halogen family are in group 7 and thus have 7 valence electrons. They are very reactive because the want an additional electron to complete the octet. They can get this additional electron by reacting with another element willing to donate that electron. A perfect example is an element from group 1 or 2 (alkali or alkali earth) which wants to donate an electron.
Is zinc chloride a halogen?
No it is a compound. The element Chlorine in the compound is a Halogen.
