What is one way atoms fill their outermost energy level?

Atoms can fill their outermost energy level by either gaining electrons from other atoms or by sharing the outermost electrons with another atom.


How can atoms with fewer than 8 valence electrons fill their outermost energy level Use either sulfur or magnesium to explain the process?

An atom of magnesium has two valence electron. It can have a full outer level by losing two electron. The second energy level becomes the outermost energy level with eight electrons.


How many electrons typically fill the outermost energy level of an atom?

The outermost energy level of an atom typically has between 1 and 8 electrons.


How many electrons are in the outermost level of carbon how many electron does it need to have fill this energy level?

Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.


How may electrons fill the outermost energy level of an atom?

8


A helium he atom has 2 electrons that are both in the outermost energy level how many more electrons does the atom need to fill its outermost energy level?

It is the most stable element in the universe and does not need anymore electrons. Its outermost energy level is full.


What does atoms have to do to fill the outermost energy level?

they need to either gain or lose electrons to create an octet. It depends on the atom. an octet is when an atom has a full outermost energy level


How would an atom of oxygen fill its outermost energy level?

It would gain 2 electrons.


An atom in which the outermost level is more than half tends to form is which ions?

An atom in which the outermost energy level is more than half full tends to fill its outermost energy level by adding one or more needed electrons. Such an atom forms a negative ion.


How many electron are needed to fill the outer energy level of sulfur?

6 electrons


What type of bond shares electrons to fill the outermost energy level?

The sharing of electrons occurs in covalent bonding.


What is the chemical formula for sulfides?

sulfide=sulfur+2 electrons(to fill the outermost energy level) sulfur=16 protons-16 electrons=0 (which is newtrons) sulfide=16 protons-18 electrons(by adding 2 electrons to fill the outermost energy level) =-2
