How many electrons does fluorine want in its outer orbit?
Gaining of 1 electron take Fluorine to nobel gas state
Why does fluorine atom atom tend to gain only one electron?
It has 7 electrons in its valance shell so it needs only 1 electron to form a octet; the Nobel gas configuration.
How does the compound LiF Violate the octet rule?
Lithium electron configuration: 1s2 2s1, or in shorthand: [He] 2s1 Thus in LiF the Li cation (Li missing one electron to get its nobel gas configuration of He) it is Li+: 1s2 2s0, or in shorthand: [He] 2s0, This ion does NOT have 8 (octet) electrons, although it has a nobel gas configuration of He: 1s2.
Does potassium have nobel gas electron configuration?
No - but the potassium ion does
What is an atom when it has 8 electrons in the outer shell?
A Nobel gas, or an atom with a filled valance shell. In Nobel gas configuration.
What kind of atom tends to loose one electron?
The Alkali Metals loose one electron in order to achieve a nobel gas configuration.
What element has three or fewer electrons in the outer energy level?
nobel gases has few electron in the outer energy level
How many electrons does fluorine want in its outer orbit?
Gaining of 1 electron take Fluorine to nobel gas state
How many electrons must a halogen gain to reach stability?
Halogens are in the seventh group on the periodic table, and thus have seven electrons in their outer shell. In order to attain a noble gas configuration, it must gain an electron to form an octet, which is when eight electrons are in the outer shell.
Why does fluorine atom atom tend to gain only one electron?
It has 7 electrons in its valance shell so it needs only 1 electron to form a octet; the Nobel gas configuration.
Do ions have the same electron configuration as noble gases?
The stable ions of all the elements except the Transition metals, Actinide, and Lanthanide series (that is the d and f block elements) form stable ions that are isoelectronic to a nobel gas by gaining or losing electrons in order to achieve an s2 p6 stable octet. For example, sodium will lose one electron to have the same electron configuration as neon, while nitrogen will gain three electrons to become isoelectronic to neon.
Why elements in the same group have similar properties?
Take a look at the shells, each has a certain number electrons orbiting the central nucleus, in the case of the Nobel Gases, they all have 8 electrons except of course for hydrogen which has 2. Each ring has a certain number of electrons which causes the atom to be more stable than others. The outermost is called a valence electron shell. In the case of the Nobel Gases it causes the element not to be as reactive to other substances. Depending upon how many electrons are in the outer shell, will denote how reactive an atom will be. Those atoms with only 1 electron, will be quite non reactive where as those that are missing just one electron from making it complete will be quite reactive. They have the same outer electron structure.
How does the compound LiF Violate the octet rule?
Lithium electron configuration: 1s2 2s1, or in shorthand: [He] 2s1 Thus in LiF the Li cation (Li missing one electron to get its nobel gas configuration of He) it is Li+: 1s2 2s0, or in shorthand: [He] 2s0, This ion does NOT have 8 (octet) electrons, although it has a nobel gas configuration of He: 1s2.
What did Albert Einstein Nobel Prize achieve?
He achieved a Nobel prize in physics
Why halogens are more reactive than noble gases?
Halogens have 7 valence electrons and nobel gases have 8. Each atom wants 8 or none electrons according to the octet rule. Therefore, nobel gases are relatively unreactive b/c they already have 8 Halogens only need 1 more valence electron, making them very reactive.
Does potassium have nobel gas electron configuration?
No - but the potassium ion does
Who developed a mathematical theory of the electron and won a Nobel Prize for it in 1902?
hendrik antoon lorentz a dutch physiscist who won a nobel prize in1902 for developing the mathematical theory of the electron
