An element that has one valence electron tends to be more reactive, is able to form ions, and can become charged When an element has all eight valence electrons, they are more stable.
Be stable and chemically nonreactive, or inert
They tend to lose it, becoming a positive ion.
Atoms that have eight valence electrons tend to do nothing. An atoms goal is to have a full octet of electrons in their valence level shell.
Elements with with 1 valence elctrons are metals and metals tend to loose their electrons. This happens because they have low electron affinity
Lose electrons and form positive ions.
noble gas
The elements in Group 1 have one valence electron in their outermost s orbital.
All these have one electron in their valence shell.
because they have one valence electron
An outer electron shell with only one electron.
In addition to hydrogen, all elements in Group I of the periodic table have one valence electron. They are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The farther you move right on the periodic table the more valence electrons. For example, elements in Group VII have 8 valence electrons except helium.
A valence electron, or valence electrons, are found in all of the elements. A valence electron is an electron located on the out most shell of an element (the valence shell). Most elements will have more than one valence electron. Oxygen, or O, has six valence electrons because its outer shell consists of six electrons.
The elements in Group 1 have one valence electron in their outermost s orbital.
One valence electron.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the furthest electron shell from the nucleus.For the first three rows, essentially, the number of valence electrons is the number of squares the element is away from the beginning of the row at the left.For example. Sodium is the first (group 1) it has 1 valence electron. Magnesium is the second, it has 2 valence electrons.
Any element in column 1 of a wide form periodic table has exactly one valence electron and reacts with other elements.
No. For example, Hydrogen is an element with one valence electron, but it is a non-conductive gas under standard conditions.
All these have one electron in their valence shell.
They all have one valence electron in their outer shells and so tend to lose that electron in chemical reactions, gaining a +1 charge.
because they have one valence electron
because they have one valence electron
An outer electron shell with only one electron.
Elements in Group 1. (eg. Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium etc.)
