What are atoms with a complete or closed outer shell called?
Stable atoms.
Why Helium will not react with anything because it has a complete outer electron shell?
Normally, when elements react they do so to attain a full outer shell, which is stable. Helium already has a full outer shell and so does need to not react to attain one.
Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer shell or energy level This is known as?
The Octet Rule
When a valance shell has 7 electrons will it gain or lose an electron?
It will gain an electron so that it can complete a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
Is eight valence electrons is called an?
Eight valence electrons would complete the out shell. If the outer shell was complete it would still be called the same thing, however the charges would be different.
Is sodiums outer shell complete?
No. It has one electron which is readily lost to produce the Na+ ion. Note - the ONLY elements with a complete outer shell are the noble gasses.
What are Atoms with a complete or closed outer shell?
a stable compound
What are atoms with complete closed outer shell?
The noble gases
Is the outer shell of iodine complete?
Iodine has 7 electrons in its outer most shell. It completes its valence shell by obtaining one electron to form iodide ion.
How many electrons should be on the outer-ring to have a complete shell?
8
How many electrons are needed to complete hydrogen outer shell?
two
What are atoms with a complete or closed outer shell called?
Stable atoms.
How many electrons nitrogen has in its outer energy levels?
Nitrogen has atomic number = 7. The outer shell has 5 electrons, it requires 3 more electrons to complete the outer energy shell.
Why Helium will not react with anything because it has a complete outer electron shell?
Normally, when elements react they do so to attain a full outer shell, which is stable. Helium already has a full outer shell and so does need to not react to attain one.
How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to complete its outer shell?
2
Does Phosphorus have a complete outer shell?
No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).
How many more valence elecrtons does chlorine need to have a complete outer shell?
it has 7 and it needs 8 to have a complete shell therefore it needs 1 electron
