Each shell represents a distinct state of electron?
Each shell represents a distinct state of electron energy.
How many electrons are in each shell surrounding the nucleus?
The electron configuration is different for each element; see the link below for details.
What is the term that defines the areas of electron density around a nucleus?
The term that defines the areas of electron density around a nucleus is the electron cloud or electron shell. These shells represent different energy levels or orbitals where electrons can be found. Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons.
Is lithiums electron shell filled up all the way?
No. It has two shells with 2 and 1 electron each. The second shell is unfilled.
How many electrons are in each shell of hydrogen?
1, because it has an atomic number of one, meaning it has 1 proton & 1 electron. It takes 2 electrons to fill the first electron shell, but hydrogen only has 1. So it remains at the 1st shell.
When a compound is formed by two or more atoms of different elements joining the outer electron shell of the compound is completely filled with elecrons?
No. The valence shell of each atom in the compound is filled, each achieving a noble gas configuration.
In the electron cloud model if you begin at the electron shell closest to the nucleus of an atom and move out what is the number of electrons that each energy level or electron shell needs to fil?
2, 8, 18, 32 more
Which energy is the energy that can be taken to remove an electron form its shell?
This energy is called ionization energy and is different for each chemical element.
What letter represents an electron?
There are 7 different letters, each to represent each shell. They are: 1. K 2. L 3. M 4. N 5. O 6. P 7. Q
How many electrons are in each of the first two shells if an atom contains eight electrons?
The first shell can have 2 electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons and the third shell has 8 electron also. No matter what, electron fill up the first shell and then move into the next shell and then the next one. To answer the question, the first shell would have 2 electron and then the second shell would have six.
How many bonds does phosphorous form?
5, one for each electron in the outer shell
What is the characteristics about the outer electron shells of halogens?
Each halogen element has an outer shell that lacks one electron of being full.
