What would alkali metal atoms need in order to end up with the same stable electron arrangements as the noble gas?
alkali metals need to loose one electron. alkali earth metals need to loose two
How do atoms attains stable configuration of noble gas?
Atoms gain stable configuration of noble gas, by either gaining or losing (as in ionic compounds) or sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
Why do atoms rearrange?
Atoms rearrange due to chemical reactions, which occur when atoms form or break chemical bonds. This rearrangement happens to achieve a more stable or energetically favorable state. Atoms can gain, lose, or share electrons to form new chemical compounds and achieve a more stable electron configuration.
Why electric forces are essential forming compounds?
So when metals react,they lose electrons to become stable and sometimes form a compound(the attraction between the valency electron(on the last shell) and the nucleus decreases,so the atom of this type of metal consider to be reactive as the electron becomes easily lost due to weaak forces pulling it towards the nucleus.
When elements are more stable in a combined formwhich forms?
Each element can form stable, less stable or unstable compounds.
When compounds form what is one result for the atoms that bonded?
It Has An Stable Arrangements Of Electrons
How do the atoms in molecular compounds form stable electron arrangements?
An atom is stable (i.e. non-reactive) when it's valence orbitals are full. An orbital is essentially an available place for an electron to orbit (or the shape of the electron 'cloud' in quantum models). The 'valence' orbital is the outside orbital of that particular atom. Atoms form stable compounds when they can share electrons to mutual advantage. For example, carbon has only 2 electrons in its valence orbitals, but has room for 6. Therefore, carbon is stable when it can form a compound with something that will let it share share 4 electrons.
Why are electrons shared in covalent compounds?
electorons are shared in covalent compounds, because covalent compounds occur between nonmetals elements.
Why do atoms form compound instead of existing as single atoms?
Every element has an electron configuration based on the number of electrons it has. However, the electron configurations of most elements are at least somewhat unstable. To obtain a more stable configuration, atoms will either share, give, or steal electrons in bonds with other atoms. In short: compounds are generally more stable than single atoms.
What are compounds with the same structural formula but different arrangements of atoms in space called?
Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
Does oxygen atoms become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen becomes more stable when it forms compounds.
Atoms unite into compounds?
by sharing their electron shells
What would alkali metal atoms need in order to end up with the same stable electron arrangements as the noble gas?
alkali metals need to loose one electron. alkali earth metals need to loose two
What is the model of atoms with charges in chlorine?
Chlorine is an element from group 17. It needs one electron from another atom to obtain the stable electron configuration. In ionic compounds it becomes the chloride ion with -1 charge.
CAN carbon compounds have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms?
Yes, this is very common in carbon compounds.
How do atoms attains stable configuration of noble gas?
Atoms gain stable configuration of noble gas, by either gaining or losing (as in ionic compounds) or sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
What is atoms of different elements can stick together ( making compounds ) via elements sharing or trading arrangements called?
Atoms of different elements can " stick together " ( making compounds ) via elements sharing or trading arrangements called
