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.

What is the octet electrons?

An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.


What is the outermost energy level of an atom is considered full if the level contains?

Outermost energy level is full if there are 8 electrons in the valence shell.


What are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom?

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.


In what shell do valence electrons locate in?

Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.


What type of shell is the outermost energy of a shell of an atom?

The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
