How many valence electronss does each fluorine atom have?
Fluorine is a halogen. All halogens have 7 valence electrons. There are thus 7 valence electrons for Fluorine, 2 in the 2s orbital, and 5 in the 2p orbitals.
What the total number of electrons in a neutral atom of fluorine?
Fluorine has the atomic number of 9. This means it has 9 protons in the nuclei of its atoms. So, a neutral fluorine atom would also have 9 electrons.
When a fluorine atom has seven electrons in its outer shell is it an ion with a plus or minus charge?
A fluorine atom that has seven electrons in its outer shell would be neutral. A negatively charged fluoride ion, Fl-, forms when a fluorine atom gains one electron so that it has an octet, or a noble gas configuration of electrons.
Why is fluorine oxidation state never positive?
An atom of fluorine has the greatest attraction among all atoms for electrons; therefore, no other atom can extract an electron from a fluorine atom, as would be required for the fluorine to have a positive oxidation state.
What is the correct Lewis structure for fluorine which is a group 7A element?
The Lewis structure of fluorine contains 9 electrons, which 7 of them are valence. This means the letter F will be in the middle with 7 dots surrounded it, which would represent the 7 valence electrons.
Which atoms is least likely to form an ion fluorine magnesium silicon sodium?
Silicon. Magnesium and sodium are metals and readily lose electrons to form cations, Mg2+ and Na+. Fluorine readily gains an electron to form the anion F-. Silicon on the otherhand in group 14 would need to gain 4 or lose 4 electrons to achieve the octet.
How many valence electronss does each fluorine atom have?
Fluorine is a halogen. All halogens have 7 valence electrons. There are thus 7 valence electrons for Fluorine, 2 in the 2s orbital, and 5 in the 2p orbitals.
If 2 electrons were removed from magnesium what would the charge on magnesium be?
negative
What the total number of electrons in a neutral atom of fluorine?
Fluorine has the atomic number of 9. This means it has 9 protons in the nuclei of its atoms. So, a neutral fluorine atom would also have 9 electrons.
How many electrons are in atomic mass of 19?
Fluorine is the element with atomic weight closest to 19 amu. Fluorine has an atomic number of 9, so an electrically neutral fluorine atom would have 9 electrons.
What salt would be formed if you reacted magnesium with hydrochloric acid?
Let's see.Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2Looks like magnesium chloride. And a little hydrogen gas.
How many electrons does mg2 plus HAVE?
Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, neutral magnesium would have 12 electrons. Mg2+ therefore has 2 less electrons, or 10.
Which element would be most likely to gain electrons in a chemical bond?
That depends on the reaction, and the gain of electrons is refereed to as reduction.
How many grams of magnesium fluoride would you produce if you added 24 grams of magnesium to 38 grams of fluorine?
Theoretically the mass is 62,3018 g.
What element has 12 electrons 12 protons and 14 neutrons?
This would be magnesium, based on the number of protons. Since the protons is equal to the number of electrons it is a neutral atom. Given the number of protons in the atom, the isotope would be magnesium-26.
How many electrons does Magnesium need to complete the last shell?
A magnesium atom would need 6 electrons to complete its highest occupied electron shell. In practice, a magnesium atom almost never does this, because the energy required would be too great. Instead, the magnesium atom transfers 2 electrons to one or more atom that are more electronegative than magnesium and thereby forms a magnesium ion with an electrical charge of +2. In this ion, the highest occupied shell of a magnesium atom is completely empty of electrons.
How many electrons are in the third energy of a magnesium atom?
If you are talking about the electronic structure, which is 2.8.2. This would therefore mean that there are 2 electrons in the outer shell of magnesium.
