Those are known as valance electrons, because they determine the kind of chemical reactions that the atom will undergo.

How many electrons are in the highest level occupied energy level of these atoms?
8
Electrons that exist in an atoms highest occupied energy level are known as?
valence electrons
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level atom barium?
2. the number of electrons on the outermost level is always equal to the group number. Barium is group 2 therefore it's outermost energy level contains 2 electrons
What is the molecule responsible for chemical reactions?
The cell itself is responsible for chemical reactions. Chemical reactions are the basis of life, and all parts of the cell work together to make them happen. Specifically the enzyme and mitochondria are often cited as being responsible. The enzymes are proteins that create a binding surface for the chemical reaction and speed the process. The mitochondria act as a digestive system and energizer for the cell.
How electrons in an atoms organize?
Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
At what stage of reaction do atoms have the highest energy?
The transition stage is the stage of a reaction where atoms have the highest energy. A covalent bond forms when atoms share electrons.
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level of oxygen?
Oxygen atoms have 6 electrons in the highest occupied energy level. They are two 2s electrons and four 2p electrons. All elements in Group 16 have 6 valence electrons. For Groups 13-18, subtract 10 from the group number and that gives you the number of valence electrons (the electrons in the highest energy s and p orbitals). The Group 1 elements have one valence electron and the Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. The transition metals can vary in the number of valence electrons. You can't necessarily go by group number for them.
What electron has the greatest binding energy?
The atoms in the valance shell. The atoms furthest from the nucleus. ( ' highest ' )
What is the element in the fourth period whose atoms have the same number of electrons in their highest energy levels that tins atoms do?
bromine, i think
What is an atom's group?
An atom's "group" is its column position in the Periodic Table of the Elements. Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level.
How is the number of energy levels in an atom related to the periodic number?
The period number is the same as the highest energy level containing electrons for the atoms in that period.
What is the element in the fourth period whose atoms have the same number of electrons in their highest energy levels at that tins do?
bromine, i think
