Is nickel electron shell full or not full?
nickel's outside electron shell is not full.
Why does ionization energy increase as atomic radius decreases?
Ionization energy is how much energy is needed to remove an electron from the valence shell (the outermost shell). When the atomic radius is smaller, you will need more energy to remove an electron because the pull from the nucleus on the electron is stronger. If the atomic radius is larger, then it will be much easier to remove an electron from the valence shell because there are more layers (shieldings) between the nucleus and valence shell.
If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
What is the electron shell arrangement of caesium?
The electron shell arrangement of Ceasium is 2.8.8.18.18.1
How many electrons are in the outer energy level of the atoms of alkali earth metals?
There are two electrons on the outer shell which means they are pretty reactive. (make bonding easier)
Is nickel electron shell full or not full?
nickel's outside electron shell is not full.
When an alkali metal reacted with a non metal what happens to the loan outer shell electron?
The electron outside the shell donate its electron to the one inside the shell
Why it is difficult to remove an electron from halogens?
In their outer electron shell, halogens have 7 valence electrons, one less than the number needed for a full shell. Therefore, it is much, much easier for the halogen to gain an electron in bonding than for it to lose 7 - the ionization energy (energy required to remove an electron from an atom) is quite high.

How does electron shielding explain why it is easier to remove an electron from rubidium than from lithium?
In rubidium, having a larger atomic radius, the attraction force between the atomic nucleus and and the electron from outermost shell is lower.
What Energy is the energy that it takes to remove an electron from its shell.?
Ionization energy
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.

Why do halogens become less reactive down the column?
It's easier for halogens to gain an electron than to let seven electrons go to become reactive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The further down the column you go the more electron shells in between the nucleus and the outside shell there are and so it has less 'pulling power' to grab that extra electron.
