What else can I help you with?
How can the number of core electrons be detemined from the periodic table?
Take carbon as an example.Carbon, indicated by it's atomic number, has 6 electrons. The number at the top of carbon's group is the number of valance electrons. Carbon has 4 valance elections.6 total electrons - 4 valance electrons= 2 core electrons in carbon=====================(try another element yourself to see this process )
Does nitrogen give or take electrons?
Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 valance electrons, which tends to receive three electrons to complete it outer electron shell.
When elements of group 2 lose their valance electrons what would be their charge?
The charge would be positive because the electrons and protons are of equal number so they cancel each other. So if you take the electrons from the element it leaves it unbalanced with x number of protons.
Does the boron family give or take valence electrons?
The elements below Boron in group 13 generally give electrons to form ions, although they can form covalent compounds. Boron forms covalent bonds rather than ionic so it shares electrons.
Do metals take electrons or give electrons to the atoms they bond with?
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
When reacting does uranium give or take electrons?
Uranium is a donor of electrons.
Do cations give or take electrons?
Cations are formed when an atom loses electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. Therefore, cations give away electrons rather than take them.
Does sodium chloride give or take electrons?
No
What is ionic bonding structure?
Ionic bond is when a non-metal takes the metals valance electrons so both atoms can be balanced. Take NaCl for example. Na has one valance electron and Cl only needs one to get eight. So Cl takes Na's one valance electron...:Cl: Na. See the empty spot for Cl, that where Na's valance electron will go.'
How many electrons does phosphorus give or take?
phosphorus will accept 3 electrons or share 3 electrons
Why doesnt neon take or give electrons?
neon has completely filled orbitals, obeys octet and has stable electronic configuration. Hence it does not take or give electrons.
Why doesn't Neon form ions?
Because its outer shell is full of electrons and cant attract anymore to become a negative ion. It cant become a positive ion because it has 8 electron on its outer shell so it would be too hard for another atom to take it
