If magnesium (metal) has two valence electrons while chlorine (nonmetal) has seven how many chlorine atoms needed to form an ionic bond with magnesium?
Two
If chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons while barium (metal) has two to donate how many chlorine atoms are needed to form an ionic bond with barium?
Two atoms of chlorine are needed, one to accept each of the barium electrons in an ionic compound, barium chloride (BaCl2).
What is characteristic about the outer electron shells of the halogens?
The outer electron shells of the halogens contain seven electrons, and need one more electron to have eight and become stable.
How many electrons are in each orbit of Chlorine?
17 electrons total - 7 of which are in the outer shell.
How many atoms are in HgS?
Mercury has seven stable isotopes, the most common one is Hg-202.
What happen when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
chlorine is a group seven element with outmost energy level lacking only one electron, thus is not stable. when it gains this electron, it gets an octet electron structure(8 e in the vallency shell) this makes it very stable in the enviroment; the reason why chlorine molecule exists due to its stable atoms but chlorine atom does not exist in nature
How many electrons does chlorine have in it's outer shell?
Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and an atomic number of 17. It has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
How many chlorine atoms are there in seven sodium chloride formula units?
7 atoms.
What number of electrons in the outer outer shell of Cl?
A chloride anion contains eight outer shell electrons, one more than the seven outer shell electrons found in a chlorine atom.
Chlorine is a very reactive non-metals.Why?
halogens have seven outer ring electrons
How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of chlorine?
Seven (7)
If magnesiumh as two valence electrons while chlorine has seven how many chlorine atoms are needed to form an ionic bond with magnesium?
two
If magnesium has two valence electrons while chlorine has seven how many chlorine atoms are needed to form an ionic bond with magnesium?
Two - MgCl2
Chlorine will tend to lose all of its seven outer electron or gain one electron?
It would gain or share an electron - in order to complete the outer shell.
