alkali solids have one each in their valence shells
Alkali earth metals have 2 electrons in their outer energy level. This outer level is known as the valence shell, and having 2 electrons makes these metals highly reactive and likely to form ionic bonds to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
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.
Alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer shell.
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.
Yes, noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, which makes them highly stable and unreactive with other elements. This full outer shell configuration is why they are commonly referred to as inert gases.
Yes they do, because, for example, neon has 2 electrons in its inner shell and 8 on its outer shell; these shells are both full. Helium, the lightest of the noble gases, has only 2 electrons, but that completes it only shell. All the other noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, which is a stable arrangement.
1 valence electron
Yes they all have 8 electrons in the outer shell, with the exception of Helium which has only 2.
There is 1 electron in the outer shell of a group one alkali metal. Just the same as there would be two electrons in the outer shell of a group 2 element.
Argon (Ar) has 8 electrons in its outer shell. This is because argon belongs in group 18 of the periodic table, known as the noble gases, which have a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.
8 electrons (except for helium which has 2)
