How element form ions that have a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Ions are formed when elements gain or lose electrons.
Are there any elements with no stable forms?
Many of the elements with higher atomic numbers have no stable form yet discovered, ex: ununoctium.
What element continue to decay until they finally become stable?
All elements above the atomic number of 83 are radioactive, but two elements that are under it are also radioactive. They are technetium (atomic number 43) and promethium (atomic number 61). Radioactive elements are elements that decay until stable. =)
Are there stable high-atomic-number elements?
Only up through bismuth.
Why do some elements not have relative atomic masses eg. radium?
All the elements has an atomic weight; sometimes for the unstable radioactive elements is indicated only the value of the atomic mass of the most stable isotope.The term atomic weight is used for elements and the term atomic mass for isotopes (after the rules and the tradition of IUPAC).
How can elements acquire a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to match the number of outer shell electrons of a noble gas.
What are the chemical properties of group 8 elements?
They don't have one. Group 8 is noble gasses.
How element form ions that have a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Ions are formed when elements gain or lose electrons.
What do insulators and conductors have in common?
stable atomic structure
How are elements form ions that have a stable atomic structure like that are found in a noble gases?
There are three different ways for this. Elements can either gain electrons or lose electrons or share electrons and attain a stable noble gas electronic configuration.
Are there any elements with no stable forms?
Many of the elements with higher atomic numbers have no stable form yet discovered, ex: ununoctium.
What element continue to decay until they finally become stable?
All elements above the atomic number of 83 are radioactive, but two elements that are under it are also radioactive. They are technetium (atomic number 43) and promethium (atomic number 61). Radioactive elements are elements that decay until stable. =)
How many stable nuclides exist for elements that have and atomic number above 83?
All isotopes of all elements with atomic number similar or greater than 84 are radioactive, and don't have stable nuclei.
Are there stable high-atomic-number elements?
Only up through bismuth.
Which element is a stable element?
A stable element is any non-radioactive element. All elements before element atomic number 84 (not including 84) - Polonium (Po) are stable elements.
Why do some elements not have relative atomic masses eg. radium?
All the elements has an atomic weight; sometimes for the unstable radioactive elements is indicated only the value of the atomic mass of the most stable isotope.The term atomic weight is used for elements and the term atomic mass for isotopes (after the rules and the tradition of IUPAC).
Is this a stable element Carbon atomic number 6?
It really isn't elements that are stable or unstable, but isotopes. Carbon has both stable and unstable isotopes.
