What is the number called that tells the combining ability of an atom?
valence
Why do atom combine?
Atoms can combine only if they are having an incomplete valence shell. They combine to attain an octet structure. They can also share electrons. There are some elements whose atoms do not combine, they are the inert gases.
What does the valence pattern represent?
it tells us about the valence electrons in an atom. we need to know the valence electrons because they are the only ones that take part in chemical reaction.
What part of an element determines its ability to combine with other elements?
The number of valence electrons an element atom contains will determine its chemical properties.
How many valence electrons are in an atom of magnesuim?
There are 2 valence electrons in an atom of magnesium. There are 5 valence electrons that are in an atom of phosphorus. There are 4 valence electrons that are in a silicon atom.
Does valence tell us to what extent an atom can combine?
Yes it does.
Does the valence of an atom tell it what it can and cannot combine?
The valence indicate the type of a possible compound.
What is the number called that tells the combining ability of an atom?
valence
The name of what french city on the rhone river describes the ability of an atom to combine with another atom?
Valence is the ability of an atom or a group of atoms to combine with other atoms or groups of atoms. Valence, France is located on the left bank of the Rhone, along the railway line that runs from Paris to Marseilles. Valence citizens are called Valentinois.
Why do atom combine?
Atoms can combine only if they are having an incomplete valence shell. They combine to attain an octet structure. They can also share electrons. There are some elements whose atoms do not combine, they are the inert gases.
What does valence electron mean?
a) Valence electrons means the electrons present in the outermost orbit of an atom. b) Valence electrons means the outer shellof an atom, which determine its power to combine with other elements.
A full valence shell of electrons means that the atom is unstable and likely to combine with other atoms?
No: A full valence shell means the atom is very stable and has little likelihood of combining with other atoms.
The valence electrons are?
Valence electrons are: In chemistry, those electrons found in orbits farthest from the nucleus of the atom. These electrons determine the way in which the atom will combine with other atoms, and thus determine its chemical properties.
What does the valence pattern represent?
it tells us about the valence electrons in an atom. we need to know the valence electrons because they are the only ones that take part in chemical reaction.
The measure of the number of atoms in one element that will combine with an atom of another element is?
These atoms are known as valence atoms.
Atoms tend to combine with each other in a way that each atom will have eight?
Electron Shells no it needs 8 valence electrons Wrong. In order for a atom to combine it must need 8 element molecules.
What happens when atoms of elements combine to form compounds?
It's valence shell (outermost shell of atom) is full and stable.
