What rule are hydrogen and helium excepted from?
The elements hydrogen and helium are exempted from the octet rule. The octet rule, as you might recall, states that elements prefer to have eight electrons in their valence shells. Hydrogen has a lone electron in its valence shell, and cannot begin to "borrow" electrons to create a shell with eight electrons in it. Remember that its electron, a 1s1 electron, is in the 1s shell. Helium has a full 1s shell with its two electrons (1s1, 1s2). It has no interest in any other electron configuration because its valence shell is full. The first two elements on the periodic table are the exceptions to the octet rule. A link can be found below.
What is he element on the periodic table that sounds like a Lone Ranger's house?
I think you mean horse, and that would be Silver.
How many unpaired atoms in aluminum?
Aluminum has 13 electrons. Use aufbau principle or periodic table to put these electrons into orbitals. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1 Because there is a lone electron in the p orbital that is not paired, aluminum in its ground state has 1 unpaired electron.
What effect does a lone electron have on a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What effect does a lone electron pair have a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What element that will most easily lose an electron.?
The Alkali Metals, which are the elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, each have one lone electron in their valence shell. And each of these elements wants to get rid of that single electron. These metals, which include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium, are the most likely to lose electrons.
Is CN paramagnetic?
Cn- is paramagnetic. Cn is found in the Periodic Table and is known as Copernicium. A compound that is paramagnetic is one that will have a lone electron and Cn qualifies.
IS CN- Diamagnetic?
Cn- is paramagnetic. Cn is found in the periodic table and is known as Copernicium. A compound that is paramagnetic is one that will have a lone electron and Cn qualifies.
Why are some elements on the periodic table separated?
Simply for convenience. Were it included in the rest of the table those elements would fit between the transition ans alkaline-earth metals, and make the table too wide to be easily displayed on most pages.:-))))
How many electron groups are around the central phosphorus atom?
The answer is 1. This is because the only atom with lone paires is phosphorus and it only has 1.
How do you calculate formal charge?
to calculate the formal charge:Take the number of valence electron the neutral atom would have (found on the periodic table) and subtract it from the number of electrons in lone pairs +1/2 of the number of electrons in bonds

Do metals become more reactive as you move from left to right across the periodic table?
In the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals (groups IA and IIA on the periodic table), all increase in reactivity as one goes down the columns. These elements react by loaning out electrons, and it is easier to loan out an electron if the valence band where that lone electron (group IA) or two (group IIA) hangs out is farther from the nucleus and is screened by other (more) electrons in lower bands. The elements farther down the columns are more reactive because they can more easily loan out electrons. Just as an aside, one might expect that the elements that borrow electrons might be better able to do that if there was less electron screening, right? And that would suggest that the elements higher in the columns of the groups that are seriously interested in borrowing electrons (think group VIIA) would be more reactive than the lower ones, wouldn't it? Maybe that's why fluorine is called the hungry wolf of the periodic table.
What is the number of lone electron pairs in the NO2 ion?
NO2 only has one lone electron
What does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
