The number of electrons that an atom in the halogen family usually gains or shares?
Nitrogen does not lose or gain electrons. It is a diatomic molecule (N2) and is a molecular compound which has covalent bonding. In other words, the molecule has a triple bond, in which 6 electrons are shared, three for each atom.
Number of electrons of lead?
In the ground state, it has 82 electrons. It usually only shares two of those electrons into an ionic bond.
What is the family of very reactive groups of mostly nonmetals whose atoms gain or share one electron in chemical reactions?
The Halogen family.All but one of the halogens are nonmetals, and all share similar properties. A halogen atom has 7 valence electrons and typically gains or shares one electron when it reacts.Hope this helped.
In a covalently bonded molecule the number of electrons that an atom shares with others is usually equal to the number of electrons?
needed to give it to a noble gas arrangement
What chemical characteristics do elements In a family shares?
Elements in the same family, or group will contain the same number of valence electrons and have many similar characteristics.
Is Shares Electrons a ionic or a covalent compounds?
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
What elements in the periodic table of elements lose two electrons when they react with other elements?
Everything down the 2nd column (group) on the periodic table of elements. E.g. Be (berrylium), Mg (magnesium), Ca (calcium) and so on. When they "react", its because they either lose or gain or share their valance electrons. This is either ionic or covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is when an atom "loses" one or more valance electrons to another atom. Covalent bonding is when two or more atoms "share" valance electrons. All atoms can do this, apart from the ones in the 18th group. These are called "inert gases" or "noble gases." They have full valence electron shells. The other elements only react with one another to lose or gain electrons, to form a full valance shell. Noble gases are ones like He (helium), Ne (neon) and Ar (argon).
What happens to atoms in chemicals reactions?
IT gains, looses, or shares outer electrons.
