Why is argon unreactive?
Aron is nonreactive because it has no free electrons it is stable and even as it is a noble gas.
How many electrons does a stable sodium atom have?
A stable sodium atom has 11 electrons.
How many electrons does Mg need to be stable?
Mg is a metal and does not need the electrons it donates two electrons and becomes stable.
Do metals usually gain or loose electrons to be stable?
Metals will LOSE electrons to become stable.
Are the valance electrons in neon reactive or stable?
they are stable
Why do valence electrons determine the reactivity of an atom?
The valence electrons are the outermost electrons. In an atom, its lower energy levels have been filled and are therefore stable. But, except for the noble gases, the valence energy level is not filled, and therefore not stable. So atoms must undergo chemical reactions in order to fill their valence shells and become stable. They can do this by sharing electrons, transferring electrons, or by forming a sea of electrons shared by all the atoms.
Is Argon Conductivity?
No. Argon has completely filled orbitals and is stable. So it is non conductive due to the absence of free electrons.
When is a periodic orbit stable?
when the shells have complete electrons they are stable
An atom is stable when its outermost orbit is?
It is stable when filled with electrons.
Is arsenic stable?
It's stable with 42 neutrons 33 protons and electrons although normally it has 3 extra electrons but it's stable
How many electrons does sulfur gain or lose to become stable?
Sulfur gains 2 electrons to become stable.
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable?
The process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable is called ionization.
