What is the name given to the outermost shell of the atom?
the valence shell
What happens if the outermost electron shell is empty?
the shell would never be empty, there would be another shell under it and it would have all of its valence electrons
What type of shell is the outermost energy of a shell of an atom?
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
What marks the edge of an atom?
The outermost shell of electrons.
What is the innermost shell of nitrogen?
The inner most shell is the K shell with 2 electrons whereas the outer shell or the L shell has 5 electrons
How many electrons will thallium has in its outermost shell?
thallium has 3 electrons in outermost shell.
How many electrons on the outermost shell of calcium?
There are 2 electrons on the outermost shell of calcium.
How many electrons does a sulfur have in its outermost shell?
Sulphur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
An atom contains seven electrons in its outermost energy level the atom is what?
The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.
What is the Outermost energy shell called?
Electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
When atoms end up with eight or zero valence electrons how are they different from they were before?
they become stable as they have completely filled outermost valence shell and if they have no electron in their outermost shell they become non reactive.
What are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
When is an atom most stable?
Answer When the outermost shell(valence shell) is filled the atom is to be most stable. First Shell: holds up to 2 electrons Second Shell: holds up to 8 electrons Third Shell: holds up to 18 electrons Fourth Shell: holds up to 32 electrons
What type of shell is the outermost energy shell of an atoms?
Valence
What is the name given to the outermost shell of the atom?
the valence shell
What word describes the outermost shell of the electrons?
The name most often given to the outermost shell of electrons in the context of atomic structure is the valence shell.
What happens if the outermost electron shell is empty?
the shell would never be empty, there would be another shell under it and it would have all of its valence electrons
