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.
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
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
They would have to connect with other atoms to create a new atom
The outermost ring of hydrogen, or the first energy level, can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Atoms can fill their outermost energy level by either gaining electrons from other atoms or by sharing the outermost electrons with another atom.
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.
The outermost energy level of an atom typically has between 1 and 8 electrons.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
8
It is the most stable element in the universe and does not need anymore electrons. Its outermost energy level is full.
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
It would gain 2 electrons.
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.
6 electrons
The sharing of electrons occurs in covalent bonding.
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
