Why do atoms with a weak electronegativity like lithium have a weak attractive force for electrons?
they have few valence electrons and aren't close to having eight valence electrons
What The octet rule is satisfied when two atoms acquire how many valence electrons?
Eight
Atoms with eight valence electrons form compounds easily?
No. Atoms and ions with a full valence shell are very stable. "Noble gases" such as helium hardly react with anything.
Does krypton have 8 valence electrons?
Yes, krypton has eight valence electrons.
What rule says atoms need to have 8 valence electrons?
All atoms want to have their outer energy levels full. When they have eight valence electrons they are full. They will become full by combining with other elements that the they may encounter until they see eight. You also could say until they have eight valence electrons.
Are having eight valence electrons makes atoms very reactive?
No, eight valence electrons completely fills the valence band and makes the atom inert. The most reactive atoms have either one valence electron or seven valence electrons.
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
How does an atom keep its charge?
An atom's charge changes when it gains or loses electrons. Atoms naturally tend to lose or gain electrons to level out at eight valence electrons (valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy level), so the only atoms that keep their charge are ions with eight valence electrons or the Noble Gases, atoms on the far right of the periodic table that have eigth valence electrons and a nuetral charge.
What are three atoms that have eight valence electrons?
Neon, Xenon, Argon
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Why do atoms with a weak electronegativity like lithium have a weak attractive force for electrons?

Most atoms need eight valence electrons to be stable is called what?
Octet Rule!
What The octet rule is satisfied when two atoms acquire how many valence electrons?
Eight
Why do atoms with a low electronegativity like lithium have a weak attractive force for electrons?
they have few valence electrons and aren't close to having eight valence electrons
Which elements is less reactive an element whose atoms have seven valence electrons or an element whose atoms have eight valence electrons?
the element with seven valence electrons will be more reactive. The reason for this is that elements want to always want to have a full valence shell (they always want 8, like a noble gas). The element with eight valence electron is happy with its full shell and will not want to get rid of any electrons.
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Atoms with eight valence electrons form compounds easily?
No. Atoms and ions with a full valence shell are very stable. "Noble gases" such as helium hardly react with anything.
