Does nitrogen have two electrons in its outer p orbitals?
no, it has three p electrons
How many electrons do the elements of the most stable group have in their outer layer?
Eight, except for helium which has two.
Does noble gases have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
No. Only helium and neon have full outer shells- the rest just have 8 electrons filling the s and p orbitals- interestingly it is these heavier elements for which compounds have been prepared.
What do elements in the same group share common?
Number of valence electrons, that is, the number of electrons that the outer shell of an atom can hold. Ex. All halogens can have 7electrons in their outer shell. All gases have a full octet, eight electrons.
Do noble gases have full outer shell of electrons?
Yes they have completely filled orbitals.
What has four total electrons in its outer p orbitals?
The elements which falls under the group 16 has 4 electrons in its outer p orbital...
How do you tell what elements in the periodic table have the same number of electrons in their outer orbitals?
They are in the same column.
What is a group of elements that rarely combine with other elements because they already have eight electrons in their outer shells?
A group of elements that rarely combine with other elements because they already have eight electrons in the outer shells is a Noble Gas
How many elements can the 3rd shell hold?
The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.
Does nitrogen have two electrons in its outer p orbitals?
no, it has three p electrons
Does barium have two electrons in its outer p orbitals?
Yes, barium is divalent with two electrons in the outer shell.
The trend in the atomic radii as you move down the group 1A elements is partially due to what?
Adding more electrons that need to occupy higher energy orbitals
How many electrons do the elements of the most stable group have in their outer layer?
Eight, except for helium which has two.
Does noble gases have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
No. Only helium and neon have full outer shells- the rest just have 8 electrons filling the s and p orbitals- interestingly it is these heavier elements for which compounds have been prepared.
How many electrons occupy p orbitals in a chlorine atom?
5 electrons in p orbitals in the outer shell. Cl has an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s2, 3p5 In level 2 there a further 6 electrons in p orbitals making 11 electrons in total occupying p orbitals
Why are f-block elements called inner transition elements?
inner transition elements are those who have their last 3 shells incompletely filled. The f block elements have their last 3 shells incompletly filled . That is why they are also called as inner transition elements. what different between inner transition and outer transition elements
How are both stability and change seen in properties of elements?
Atoms with full octets form stable elements
