Atoms in Group 1, also known as alkali metals, typically have one less electron than a full outer orbit. These elements have one electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive and likely to lose that electron to achieve a more stable, full outer shell configuration.

What Atoms in this group have one less electron than a full orbit?

Atoms in Group 1 of the periodic table, also known as the alkali metals, have one less electron than a full outer electron shell. This means they have a single electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive. Examples of elements in this group include lithium, sodium, and potassium. These elements readily lose this outer electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Why is harder for group 7 atoms to gain an electron?

Group 7 atoms, also known as the halogens, have a full outer electron shell and are one electron short of having a full shell. Due to their high electronegativity and small atomic radius, they strongly attract electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration, making it harder for them to gain an additional electron.


What do the Group IA atoms have to do to become a noble gas configuration?

They have one valence electron. If this electron is lost, the atoms form cations with the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.

Which group of the periodic table do atoms try to be like?

8a group is the group in which the atoms "try to be like."


Why are the elements in group 18 always found by themselves and never in a compound with other elements?

The outer electron shells of their atoms are full, and they do not need more electrons from other atoms, so they do not easily bond.


Why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions?

Group 0 elements, also known as noble gases, have a full outer electron shell which makes them very stable and unreactive. They do not readily gain or lose electrons to form ions because doing so would disrupt their stable electron configuration.


How many valence electron does neon atoms have?

Neon is in group 8 of the periodic table, so it has 8 valence electrons.


Why zero group elements are mono atomic?

Zero group elements are considered monoatomic because they consist of single atoms that do not bond with each other. In a group with zero elements, there are no interactions or combinations possible between atoms, leading to monoatomic nature.


What happens to electron affinity as you move down a group?

I would have to answer by asking about the ongoing line segment that joins the origin and a variable point in a system of polar or spherical coordinates. What is the length of a radius vector?


What do atoms strive to have?

Atoms strive to have balance, namely, the outer electron shell full even if it has to share.


What group has a complete octet and wont bond with other atoms?

Noble gases have a complete octet and are stable because they have a full outer electron shell. They do not chemically bond with other atoms because they are already in a stable configuration.
