What two atoms follow the duet rule in filling up their valence shells of electrons?
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine
Number of valence electrons in chlorine?
I think that because chlorine has 17 electrons in all, and ten of them are filled up on the first two shells, then seven of them should be on the third shell, so seven of them are valance electrons.
Why are fluorine chlorine bromine and iodine placed in the same group?
Fluorine, chlorine bromine and iodine have seven electrons in their valence shells, and they all need one electron to have stabilized electron configuration. Therefore they are grouped in Group 17 (halogen group) of periodic table.
How many additional valence electrons does chlorine need to have a full valence shells?
11 electrons makes the third energy level complete. One
How many valence electrons are in Cl atom?
There are 7 valence electrons in a chlorine atom. The atomic number of chlorine is 17, which means it has an electron configuration of 2,8,7. This shows it has 3 shells of electrons, with 7 in the outer level.
Why does the transfer of an electron occur between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom?
Chlorine is extremely electronegative and will steal electrons from the valence shell of sodium. When chlorine steals the electron, both sodium and chlorine have full valence shells.
How many additional valence shells does chlorine need to have a full valence shell?
11 electrons makes the third energy level complete. One
Do noble gases have valence shells?
Yes they have eight electrons in their valence shells. This is why they are not reactive. All elements have valence shells.
How many valence shells does chlorine have?
3
What is the valence shell for chlorine?
There are 7 electrons on the valence shell. Chlorine requires one electron to make it complete and the ion would therefore be Cl- (one minus charge)
Can nonmetals gain electrons to fill their valence shells?
Yes, nonmetals generally gain electrons to fill valence shells.
Why is chlorine on that spot on the periodic table?
Chlorine- Group VII- It has 7 valence electrons Group VII A- It does not lose electrons from its penultimate shell. Period 3- It has 17 electrons, therefore, electronic configuration is 2,8,7...3 shells
