What else can I help you with?
What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?
The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.
Do the most reactive atoms already have 8 valence electrons?
No the most reactive have 1 or 7 - if they have 8 they are stable
Which atoms are most reactive?
The most reactive elements have either 1 valence electron or 7 valence electrons
Does two valence electrons is a reactive or non reactive?
Two valence electrons make an atom chemically reactive because it wants to either gain or lose electrons to achieve a full valence shell. This makes it more likely to form bonds with other atoms to reach a stable electron configuration.
How valence electrons affects reactivity?
Valence electrons determine how easily an atom can bond with other atoms. Atoms with a few valence electrons are more likely to lose or gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, making them more reactive. The number of valence electrons also influences the type of chemical bonds an atom can form with other atoms.
Which elements is less reactive an element whose atoms have seven valence electrons or an element whose atoms have eight valence electrons?
the element with seven valence electrons will be more reactive. The reason for this is that elements want to always want to have a full valence shell (they always want 8, like a noble gas). The element with eight valence electron is happy with its full shell and will not want to get rid of any electrons.
What family is a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose atoms have 7 valence electrons?
The Halogens.
What is the electron shell that contains the most reactive electrons?
The outermost electron shell, known as the valence shell, contains the most reactive electrons. These electrons are involved in chemical reactions and interactions with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration, usually by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons.
Valence electrons determine an atoms what?
Valence electrons determine an atom’s reactivity and ability to form chemical bonds with other atoms. The number of valence electrons also influences an atom’s physical and chemical properties, such as its melting and boiling points.
Why are atoms except inert gases reactive?
Atoms are reactive [except noble gases] because atoms have valence electron which try to acquire the stable configuration either by sharing, losing, or gaining of electrons. For e.g. Na is reactive as it consist of 1 electron in its valence shell which it can lose to combine with others..
What states that atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of valence electrons typically?
The octet rule.
Why do atoms with a weak electronegativity like lithium have a weak attractive force for electrons?
they have few valence electrons and aren't close to having eight valence electrons
