How many valence electrons are in an atom of magnesuim?
There are 2 valence electrons in an atom of magnesium. There are 5 valence electrons that are in an atom of phosphorus. There are 4 valence electrons that are in a silicon atom.
Which electrons are the valence electrons of an atom?
The electrons farthest away from the nucleus are the valence electrons of an atom.
What are the electrons in the outmost shell of an atom called?
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
The outermost electrons in an atom are called?
Valence electrons
What is the bond that is formed when one atom gives up a valence electron to another atom in order to fill the outer most electron shell of the other atom?
An ionic form is created because valence electrons are transferred. A covalent bond is when valence electrons are shared.
What happens to valence electrons as an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?
At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.

Which of a potassium atom's electrons are its valence electrons?
Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell of the atom.
What change in electron structure occures when a sodium atom becomes a sodium ion?
The valence electrons are either lost to another atom or the sodium atom gains valence electrons, it really depends on if what the sodium atom is bonding with has a lot or a little of valence electrons. The structure doesn't change though, just the number of valence electrons change. The nucleus is never changed when an ion is formed.
What is the concept of the Lewis model of the atom?
The Lewis structure of an atom gives a clear illustration of the valence electrons.
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom they form a bond that is considered to be?
ionic
What is the usual charge on an ion formed from an atom that originally had five valence electrons?
-3
How many valence electrons does a nitrogen atom have then a carbon atom?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
