are nonmetals, include the halogens
Elements that typically take electrons are nonmetals, especially those in the halogen group such as fluorine, chlorine, and iodine. These elements have high electronegativity and tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Metals are the most commonly used electrical conductors, but there are non-metallic conductors as well. The best conductor of electricity is silver, but it is rarely used for that purpose due to its cost. Copper and aluminum are also very good conductors.
INSULATOR
Other substances keep their electrons under very tight control. Materials that do not let electrons move through them are called "insulators".
Glass is an example of a type of material that keeps its electrons tightly controlled. Glass is made of silicon molecules, organized very tightly in to crystaline structures. Glass is an extremely good insulator. Many plastics are good insulators too. Plastics are cheap, flexible, and durable. That is why the wiring in our houses is covered with a layer of plastic.
The material which have loosely bonded electron conduct electricity.
Simple way to know whether an element will conduct electricity or not is simply know about bond if it is a compound(mixture or ant thing) or know the number of free electrons in outer most shell of that element and the force of attraction by the nuclei on those electrons, if it is less then that element of compound will conduct electricity otherwise not.
Metals have lots of free electrons that's why they are good conductor of electricity.
Example: Steel, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ag, Au etc.
Rubber, polyester, Styrofoam, Saran wrap, PVC, etc
Metals tend more to give electrons and make ions with positive charge.
It is what it is hommie.
A conductor has free electrons
Group 2A elements typically lose 2 electrons when forming ions.
Silicon will tend to gain electrons in order to achieve a stable outer electron configuration, as it has 4 valence electrons and typically forms covalent bonds with other elements by sharing electrons.
Elements in the oxygen family tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. This is because these elements, like oxygen, have six valence electrons and typically achieve a stable electron configuration by gaining two electrons to complete an octet.
The elements that have 5 electrons in the dot diagram means that they have 5 valence electrons. These elements are found in group 5A. Elements include, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
Most elements have multiple energy levels, typically ranging from 1 to 7. The number of energy levels an element has depends on the number of electrons it contains. Each energy level corresponds to specific electron orbitals where electrons can be found.
+ include the halogens + are non metals
Because in nature the elements seek to either give out electrons of take electrons. So the elements that gives out electrons bonds with the elements that takes electrons so that both of them are "happy"
no
The elements that typically give up electrons are the ones which have the lowest ionization energy. The valence electron which holds on loosely will be the one to be given out easily.
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
From one - e.g. Copper - to eight - e.g. Nickel.
oxygen, sulphur
Because as we know first that positive attracts to neutral, so protons and neutrons are attracted together and remain together in the nucleus. So there is no chance protons or neutrons can be given up because of attraction forces. Whereas electrons on the other hand are negatives and repel each other and whiz around the atom. So elements typically give up electrons because electrons want to stay away from each other because of the strong repulsion forces. Hence they are given typically by the elements.
Thede are unreactive elements.
Yes, halogen atoms typically gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in a full outer electron shell, similar to the noble gases.
Group 17 and group 16 elements will take one and two electrons respectively to form mono negative and dinegative anions.
An element's reactivity is influenced by its ability to gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Elements with incomplete outer electron shells are generally more reactive as they can easily form bonds with other elements to gain stability. Reactivity can also be affected by factors such as atomic size and electronegativity.
