This is different for each period of group IIA in the P.T.
Examples:
Be in period 2 has 4 electrons, Ca in p.4 has 20and Ra in p.7 (down under in P.T.) has 88 electrons.
The whole row: 4, 12, 20, 38, 56, 88 electrons, from top to bottom in group IIA
The elements in Group IIA (2) of the Periodic Table have two electrons in their electron dot diagrams.
They have one electron
they will lose electron to form mono positive cation
Two valence electrons.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the furthest electron shell from the nucleus.For the first three rows, essentially, the number of valence electrons is the number of squares the element is away from the beginning of the row at the left.For example. Sodium is the first (group 1) it has 1 valence electron. Magnesium is the second, it has 2 valence electrons.
Oxygen, with a electron number of 8 there are two electrons on the first orbit ring and six an the outer ring(shell) those are the valence electrons
Elements in the same column on the periodic table have similar chemical reactivity because they have the same outer electron configuration and it is the electron structure that determines an elements properties.
they have 2
Electron dot diagrams show the number of valence electrons and whether they are paired or unpaired. One of the trends of the periodic table is that elements within the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Sodium and potassium are in the same group.
it should be 18 however a lot of scientists use 8 to avoid confusing diagrams
They have the same number of valence electrons, or electrons in the outer electron shell. This allows them to react with certain elements.
Yes. In terms of electron configuration and the number of valence electrons.
they will lose electron to form mono positive cation
Two valence electrons.
Group-17 in the periodic table gains electron most readily. The elements in this group require only one electron to complete its octet.
Elements in the same column have the same number of valence electrons, and form ions with the same charge.
The period (row) indicates how many electron shells the element has and the family (column) indicates how many valence electrons the element has.
Listed in order of atmoic weight. Electrons have the majority of weight in the atom (proton, neutron, electron.)
Valence electrons are the electrons in the furthest electron shell from the nucleus.For the first three rows, essentially, the number of valence electrons is the number of squares the element is away from the beginning of the row at the left.For example.
