What are atoms with a complete or closed outer shell called?
Stable atoms.
What are atoms with complete closed outer shell?
The noble gases
Atoms that have a tendency to complete their outer shell or energy level is called?
the octet rule
Why do some atoms gain electrons while other atoms lose electrons during ionic bonding?
The most stable electron configuration for any atom is to have a complete outer shell. For the smallest atoms, that can be no electrons at all (for H+) since no shell is equivalent to a complete shell, or just two electrons in the outer shell, such as for a helium atom, but for most elements that means 8 electrons in the outer shell. We then have atoms which have five or more electrons in their outer shell and therefore need three or less to complete their shell, and they tend to gain electrons because it is easier to gain three than it is to lose five. Similarly, there are atoms with three or fewer electrons in their outer shell, and they tend to lose electrons because it is easier to lose three than it is to gain five. In the middle we have an atom such as carbon, with four electrons it its outer shell; it can gain or lose electrons with equal ease.
Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer shell or energy level This is known as?
Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer shell or energy level through the process of bonding with other atoms, either by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons. This is known as achieving stability or reaching a more favorable energy state.
Electrons in oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 6 in the outer shell. The outer shell is not full, so oxygen can form bonds with other atoms to complete its valence shell and achieve stability. This is why oxygen typically forms covalent bonds with other atoms to complete its outer electron shell.
How many atoms are in the outer Shell of carbon?
there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..
What type of bond would likely form with Helium and Helium atoms?
No bond at all, He has a complete outer shell
What is sulfur of outer electrons?
Sulfur has 6 outer shell electrons, which are located in the third energy level. These electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms to complete sulfur's outer shell and achieve a stable electron configuration.
Does Phosphorus have a complete outer shell?
No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).
How many electrons are shared between carbon and oxygen to complete the outer electron shell of all three atoms?
enoughh :L
What are atoms valence electrons?
the electrons on their outer shell, all atoms want to gain a full valence shell.
