1: The outermost ring of hydrogen is the s-level, which can contain only two electrons, and a hydrogen atom itself already has one of these electrons.
This value could vary from element to element and atoms could have 1 to 8 valence electrons.
The outermost energy level of an atom typically has between 1 and 8 electrons.
Covalent Bonds. :)
1st energy levels only in which hydrogen will have only one electron whereas helium will have two electrons.
Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell. If the shell is not completely filled, then it tends to "want" to be filled, and those electrons can share positions between atoms. This is called a covalent bond, and it can be very powerful, causing various molecules to form in preference to others. For instance, water is formed from the covalent bond of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The two atoms of hydrogen have one electron in a shell that "wants" to have two, while the atom of oxygen has 6 electrons in a shell that "wants" to have 8. The two hydrogen electrons fill in the oxygen shell, and two other electrons from oxygen fill in the two hydrogen shells.
The outermost ring of hydrogen, or the first energy level, can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Chlorine is MUCH more likely to fill its outermost orbital by gaining electrons.
It would gain 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.
This value could vary from element to element and atoms could have 1 to 8 valence electrons.
The outermost energy level of an atom typically has between 1 and 8 electrons.
8
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
It is the most stable element in the universe and does not need anymore electrons. Its outermost energy level is full.
The sharing of electrons occurs in covalent bonding.
