I do believe, if my memory serves me correctly, that it is the elements in the first column.... they have only one atom on the outer shell, so it is less full.

What is the smallest thing apart from bacteria?
Well, atoms are the smallest objects in the universe. Everything is made up of atoms. That means that bacteria is made of atoms!
What is the smallest number of atoms in one molecule?
the smallest atom is hydrogen, the smallest molecule would be the naturally occurring diatomic hydrogen.
What is the smallest piece of matter discovered?
Atoms
What is the smallest living object scientist study?
Atoms
What is the Smallest unit of substance of two or more atoms?
The smallest unit of a pure substance that consists of two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond is a molecule.
Does metallic bonding occur between atoms of copper or chlorine?
Metallic bonding occurs between copper atoms. Only copper is a metal and has the characteristics needed for metallic bonding. Metallic bonding occurs between atoms with low electronegativities (low tendency to attract electrons from other atoms) and low ionisation energies (little energy required to remove electrons from the atoms). The low tendency for the metallic atoms to keep their electrons allow their electrons to be shared between the atoms, which thus become cations. The cations tend to be very closely-packed; they are not repulsed by their similar positive charges, but attracted to the electrons flowing freely between the cations. Metallic bonding therefore occurs between copper atoms, which have low electronegativity and ionisation energy. Chlorine atoms have some of the highest electronegativity and ionisation energy of all elements, and thus do not exhibit metallic bonding.
Why does excited hydrogen atoms always produce the same line emission spectrum?
because it only releases photons of certain energies.
Atoms are the smallest?
Atoms are the smallest forms of matter that we have discovered.
Low ionization energies are most characteristic of atoms that are?
electronegativity
What are the smallest units of elements?
Atoms are the smallest units of elements.
How can you tell what kind of bonds an elements atoms have?
atoms having low Ionisation enthalpy and ones having high electronegativity form ionic bond
The smallest stable units of matter are:?
ATOMS :)
Arrange atoms from smallest to largest?
An atoms size is relative to the number of electrons an atom contains. Atoms with the least number of electrons are the smallest atoms. When atoms have the same number of electrons, the atom with the most protons will have the largest nuclear charge, and therefore be the smallest atom.
Atoms are the smallest of?
Nothing
What is the smallest thing apart from bacteria?
Well, atoms are the smallest objects in the universe. Everything is made up of atoms. That means that bacteria is made of atoms!
What is the smallest number of atoms in one molecule?
the smallest atom is hydrogen, the smallest molecule would be the naturally occurring diatomic hydrogen.
How do use the word 'atoms' in a sentence?
Atoms are the smallest units of matter. Molecules are made of atoms.
