An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would form which type of bond?
Wiki User

It would form an ionic bond. The atom with 7 electrons is cation and the atom with 1 is an anion.

What happens when photon is absorbed by atom?
When an atom absorbs a photon its energy is transferred to outer shell electrons. The result will be the transition of an electron to a higher energy state.
Where is the electron locations in the atom?
it is located on the outer ring of the atom
What is the charge of the electron that orbit the nucleus of an atom?
The electron has a charge of -1 (elementary charges).
How does the electron's energy change as the orbit of the electron increases?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
Which atom is more chemically reactive an atom with a partly filled energy level or an atom with all energy levels completely filled and why?
If all the electron orbitals are filled then the atom is inert. It will not chemically react with anything. If an atom has empty spaces in the outer orbit, it will react with other elements. Electrons from other elements can share positions in the outer orbits.
Number of electrons in the outer orbit of an atom of lithium?
A neutral atom of lithium has an electron configuration of 2,1. This means it has 1 electron in its outer shell.
What is an electron orbit region around an atom?
An orbit is the path around the nucleus of an atom. an electron generally moves along this orbit.
Is ionization an exothermic or endothermic process?
Endothermic...... because it requires energy to take out an electron from the outer orbit of an atom.
What is meant by electronic theory?
Electronic theory is the theory of the behavior of the electron under various conditions including a free electron, a bound electron in either an outer or inner orbit of the atom.
What happens when photon is absorbed by atom?
When an atom absorbs a photon its energy is transferred to outer shell electrons. The result will be the transition of an electron to a higher energy state.
What Can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to become free of their orbit?
External forces can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to break free of their orbit. Conductors can increase the chances of this happening.
Where is the electron locations in the atom?
it is located on the outer ring of the atom
Where is an electron in a atom?
The electron is the only thing in the atom is moving. It makes AA Eliptical Orbit around the positive charges. An Eliptical Orbit is a oval type of orbit around an object
What is meant by valency orbit and valency electron?
A valance electron is one that is associated with an atom. The valence orbit is the one that electron travels in.
Why are electron in the electron cloud?
electron cloud refers to orbit present in the atom and electron can can be revolved by the orbit only as it is an imaginary path made of energy
What happens to an atom when it looses an electron?
If an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes a positive. (The process of losing an electron is called OXIDATION, by the way.) Depending on the electron configuration, the atom could become "happy" (because its outer ring is now empty) or it could want to bond with another atom to fill ALL of the spots on its outer electron ring.
Why can an atom lose electrons easily?
Atoms do not always lose electrons. Electrons can be gained too. Atoms always try to have their outer most shell filled, and some atoms such as ones of potassium can easily lose an electron rather than gain an electron. So it would lose an electron to a different atom so that it would have a full outer shell and the other atom would also have a full outer shell.
