What else can I help you with?
How many electrons are in the outermost orbital in one atom of sodium?
One atom of sodium has one electron in its outermost orbital.
What are the electrons in the outermost electron shell or orbital called?
The electrons in the outermost shell or orbital are called valence electrons. These electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
What orbital do the outmost electrons of sodium fill?
The M orbital, there's only 1 electron in it.
Which orbital do calciums outermost electrons occupy?
Calcium's outermost electrons occupy the 4s orbital.
How many electrons are in the outer orbit of silver?
C = 1s2,2s2,2p2 so the outermost (2p) orbital has 2 electrons in Ground State
Chlorine is more likely to try an empty its outermost orbital by losing electrons or fill its outermost orbital by gaining electrons?
Chlorine is MUCH more likely to fill its outermost orbital by gaining electrons.
What particles plays a role in creating bonds is it neutron electron proton?
Electrons (that too the valence electrons or electrons in the outermost shell / orbital) are involced in bond formation.
What is the number of outermost electron of sulfur?
Electrons are distributed using 2n2 formula, where n = 1,2,3,4,5...........i.e. no of orbital! hence for 1st orbital, no. of electrons = 2*(1)2 = 2*1 = 2 similar procedure for other orbitals also! bt still if any orbital, except 1st, contains 8 electrons it is considered to be stable! Total electrons in sulphur atom = 32 1st orbital = 2 2nd orbital = 8 3rd orbital = 18 4th orbital = 4 Electron in outermost(here, 4th) orbital = 4
How do you find the valence of an element?
elements, or atoms, do not have valence numbers, they have valence orbitals (the outermost one) or valence electrons (all the electrons in the outermost orbital). you can look this up anywhere that shows the electron configuration, like your periodic table.
What is another name for the electron shell?
Orbital x ray
What group is an element with an outer level electron configuration consisting of one electron in the d orbital and two electrons in the ns orbital?
The element belongs to Group 3 of the periodic table. This is because the outermost electron configuration is 3d^(1)4s^(2), where the d orbital has one electron and the ns orbital has two electrons.
Do valence electron equal the number of protons?
The number of electrons usually does not equal the number of protons. Valence means outermost. In an electrically neutral atom (which in Gen Chem is the only atoms you will be dealing with) the number of outermost electrons usually does not equal the number of protons. Chlorine has 7 valence electrons but it has 17 protons and if it is electrically neutral (which in gen chem it almost always is) it has 17 electrons. Gen Chem 1: it has 2 electrons in the first shell then it has 8 electrons in the second shell then it has 7 electrons in the outermost shell Gen Chem 2: it has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital then it has 2 electrons in the 2s orbital then it has 6 electrons in the 2p orbital then it has 2 electrons in the 3s orbital then it has 5 electrons in the 3p orbital
