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.
What is the difference between alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
Alkali metals are from Group 1 of the Periodic table and have a single electron in their outer shell. Alkaline-Earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table and have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
How many electrons on their outer shell does bromine have?
Seven , outer shell electrons or valence electrons increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table not including the transition metals which vary, they start with 1 valence in the alkali earth metals , and finish with 8 valence electrons on the noble gasses (group 18)
Does argon has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
How many electrons does vandidum have on its outer shell?
Vanadium has on the outer shell two electrons.
Most metals and nonmetals bond together to get eight electrons in their outer occupied shell?
Most metals and non-metals bond together to get eight electrons in their outer occupied shell. This is what is referred to as ionic bonding.
How many electrons do alkaline earth metals have in their outer shell?
2
How many electrons will metals generally have in their outer shell?
1 to 3.
How many electrons do metals normally have in their outer shell?
Few, one to three.
Explain how the properties of outer shell electrons affect metals?
Thrse electrons are involved in chemical reactions.
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 do poor metals have in there outer shell?
poor metals have four, five, six..... electrons in its outermost shells these poor metals are also known as non-metals.
What is the difference between alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
Alkali metals are from Group 1 of the Periodic table and have a single electron in their outer shell. Alkaline-Earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table and have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
Do non-metals form a stable outer electron configuration by losing electrons and becoming anions?
NO. Nonmetals tend to GAIN electrons to complete their outer shell. By gaining electrons, they become a negatively charged species, which is what an anion is. Metals tend to LOSE electrons to end up with a full outer shell; in losing electrons, they develop a positive charge (become cations).
How many electrons on their outer shell does bromine have?
Seven , outer shell electrons or valence electrons increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table not including the transition metals which vary, they start with 1 valence in the alkali earth metals , and finish with 8 valence electrons on the noble gasses (group 18)
How many electrons are in the outer energy level of the atoms of alkali earth metals?
There are two electrons on the outer shell which means they are pretty reactive. (make bonding easier)
