What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of cobalt?
There is one electron on cobalts outer shell.
When atoms complete their outer electron shell by sharing electron they form?
Covalent bonds
Why do compounds conform to particular shapes?
Compounds form their shapes due to the size of the atoms and the repelling of bonding pairs of electrons. The electron pairs repel the the furthest parts of the atom that they can(It's easier if you imagine the atom's outer shell as a sphere, where the electron pairs are as far apart as possible)
How many electrons does one hydrogen atom have in its outer shell?
Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer shell, and in fact only 1 electron in total.
How many electron pairs are in the outer shell of nitrogen?
4
If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
How many electron pairs are there in the outer shell of krypton?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
Does lithium have a full outer shell?
no it only has 1 electron in the outer shell
How can you get an ion of bromine?
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell and needs to gain one electron to have a full outer shell and become an ion. It will gain this electron from an atom that has one electron in its outer shell such as Lithium or Sodium.
What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of cobalt?
There is one electron on cobalts outer shell.
What does the element symbol As stand for?
The element with chemical symbol As, is Arsenic. Arsenic in part of the Group 15 family of elements along with Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Antimony and Bismuth. Arsenic has 33 electrons in a standard atom, with 4 electron shells and 5 electrons in the outer shell.
How many electrons does sodium have in its outer most shell?
Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.
What is the outer electron arrangement of sodium azide?
I think it is that there is only 1 electron in its outer shell.
How many electron are on the outer shell of a manganese?
manganese have 2 electrons in their outer most shell
When atoms complete their outer electron shell by sharing electron they form?
Covalent bonds
