No. That is characteristic of a nonmetal, specifically the halogens (group 17) on the Periodic Table.

Seven electrons in the outermost energy level is characteristic of a?
No. That is characteristic of a nonmetal, specifically the halogens (group 17) on the periodic table.
The number of electrons in the outermost electron shell of the chlorine atom is?
seven
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.
What does chemical reactivity have to do with electron configurations and energy levels?
The electronic configuration of an element gives an idea about its reactivity. The elements having a completely filled outermost orbit (or shell) will be chemically inert (non-reactive). For example, the outermost shell in the case of helium (He), neon (Ne) and argon (Ar) are completely filled as shown below. As a result, helium, neon, and argon are chemically inactive (or inert). These elements do not form compounds with other elements. Because of this chemical inactivity, these gases are called as noble gases (earlier these were called inert gases). The elements containing only one or seven electrons in their outermost shell show greater chemical reactivity, i.e., such elements react very fast with other elements. For examples, sodium and chlorine having the follows electronic configurations are highly reactive. Sodium 2, 8, 1 ---- Here, the outermost shell has been one one electron: one more than the completely filled shell. Chlorine 2, 8, 7 ----- Here, the outermost shell has seven electrons: one less than that required to fill the shell completely.
What element is represented by the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d5?
That is chlorine and it has seven valance electrons.
Seven electrons in the outermost energy level is characteristic of a?
No. That is characteristic of a nonmetal, specifically the halogens (group 17) on the periodic table.
What are seven electrons in the outermost energy level?
Halogens have six valence electrons in the outermost energy level.
Are there seven electrons in the outermost energy level charicteristics of a metal?
No. That is characteristic of a nonmetal, specifically the halogens (group 17) on the periodic table.
An atom contains seven electrons in its outermost energy level the atom is what?
The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.
How many electrons does iodine have in its outermost energy level?
Seven
Do group 7 electrons have 7 electrons in the outer shell?
Group seven elements have 7 electrons in their outermost energy level.
How many electrons does an iodone atom have in its outermost shell?
There is no Iodone atom, there is however an Iodine atom that has seven valence electrons or seven electrons in outermost shell.
Will fluorine bond and why?
yes, because, it has seven outermost electrons
How many inner electrons does Br have?
A bromine atom has seven electrons in its outermost shell.
The number of electrons in the outermost electron shell of the chlorine atom is?
seven
What atoms have seven electrons in their outermost energy levels?
All halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine) have 7 valence electrons.
Does H have seven electrons in their outermost level?
Hydrogen (H) has one valence electron.
