Can hydrogen fill it's outside shells with two electrons?
No. Hydrogen is extremely unreactive because it only has one valence electron.
How many shells does oxygen have?
2
What two atoms follow the duet rule in filling up their valence shells of electrons?
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine
How many outer shells are there in magnesium?
There are two electrons in the outer shell and there are three shells in total. The first shell holds two. The second eight. Then the last is two.
How many electrons are needed in hydrogen helium carbon and oxygen to fill their respective valence shells?
Hydrogen has one electron and needs one more. Helium has two electrons and has filled shell. Carbon needs four more electrons to fill the valence shell Oxygen needs two more electrons to fill the valence shell
What are valence electrons and why are they important in forming compounds?
Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell. If the shell is not completely filled, then it tends to "want" to be filled, and those electrons can share positions between atoms. This is called a covalent bond, and it can be very powerful, causing various molecules to form in preference to others. For instance, water is formed from the covalent bond of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The two atoms of hydrogen have one electron in a shell that "wants" to have two, while the atom of oxygen has 6 electrons in a shell that "wants" to have 8. The two hydrogen electrons fill in the oxygen shell, and two other electrons from oxygen fill in the two hydrogen shells.
How many electrons are in the third energy level of magnesium atom?
2 electrons. Magnesium has 12 total, in 3 shells, 2,8,2There are two electrons in magnesium's third energy level.
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as part of water molecule?
In water molecules there are 2 atoms of hydrogen of and 1 atom of oxygen present. each hydrogen atom shares 1 electron with the oxygen atom. So the total number of electrons shared with oxygen are 2,total no. of electrons shared by hydrogen is 2 and the total no. of electrons shared by each hydrogen atom is 1.
Number of valence electrons in two hydrogen atoms?
Two. One hydrogen atom has one valence electron, so two hydrogen atoms will have two valence electrons :)
How many electron shells does an atom of oxygen have?
An oxygen atom has two shells. The first contains two electrons, and the second contains six electrons.
Do all alkaline metals have 2 electron shells?
No. All the alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons, meaning they have two electrons in the outermost shells. No two alkaline earth metals have the same number of electron shells. Beryllium is the only one with two shells.
How many electron shells does the beryllium atom have?
Two energy shells. Made up as 1s2, 2s2 Shells 1 & 2 each have only 's' orbital and each orbital has only two electrons in it. The outer shell '2' is more energetic. The electrons are paired and spin in opposite directions to each other.
