The electrons found in an atoms outeer shell are often called electrons?
Valance electrons.
In metallic bonds where are the electrons found?
Electrons in metallic bonds are called "delocalized electrons", which means they exist in an atoms orbitals, but are extended over multiple atoms. It is often called a "sea of electrons" because the electrons are free to "roam" between atoms, and is what gives metal the ability to conduct electricity.See related links below for more information.
What are found in electron clouds?
Valency electrons are free electrons that are not attracted to other atoms. Valency electrons most often occur in a vacuum where they are not attracted to atoms (the reason thermionic devices are vacuumed) so yes, electron clouds can occur, very rarely in our atmosphere in the form of corona discharge from high voltage devices and more commonly in the vacuum of space as a glob of ionic turbulence
Why do atoms tend to be bonded to other atoms?
The correct answer is: Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms
What gives an element its unique physical properties?
The electrons specifically the outermost electrons determines the chemical properties. These are often called the valence electrons. The radioactivity of a particular isotope is determined by the nuclear composition in terms of protons and neutrons.
Atoms that have filled outermost energy levels and do not participate in chemical bonding are called?
reactive. a radical, In chemistry, radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration.
Atoms like sodium and lithium often lose electrons, which makes them?
The kind of atom that likes to be oxidized.
What are trivalent atoms often reffered to as?
elements having 3 electrons in its outermost orbit is known as trivalent atom
Why do atoms often lose or gain electrons?
Atoms like to have a nice even number of Valence electrons or electrons on their outer shell ( i.e. two on the innermost ring and 8 on the second ring/shell) so when they do not they either lose or gain elements and bond with the other atom in the process.
Which electrons are involved in bonding'?
At times the electrons involved in bonding are shared equally between the nuclei of two atoms and the bond is called a pure covalent bond. More often, however, the sharing is unequal and the electrons spend more time around the nucleus
Area in which electrons are arranged in energy levels?
The area in which electrons are arranged in energy levels is called "Main Energy Levels." The chart also includes configurations of the electrons. I have attached a link to explain.
How many valence electrons will most elements have after forming an ion?
Atoms often form ions by losing or gaining enough electrons to end up with a full outer shell. How many electrons are in a full outer shell for most atoms? Don't know? How about Googling full outer shell?
