because they almost always give away a valance electron during bonding
The group 16 elements have 6 valence electrons. However, they generally only have two unpaired electrons available for bonding.
In space, the most common elements are?
what does a group/family have of elements have in common
in group 15 of the periodic table, how many electrons does group 15 gain?
number of electrons in the bonding shell vary according to the element. for example group 1 in the periodic table contains elements with ony one electron in their bonding shell, similarly group 2 has elements with two electrons in its bonding shell and so on. the group number in the periodic table denotes the number of electrons in the bonding shell of each element present in that particular group
Group 5A, which includes the common elements nitrogen and phosphorus, has a -3 charge in an ionic bonding scenario, which means they will gain three electrons.
Electron configuration - they have the same number of elements in their outer 'electron shell'. This induces them to have similar bonding properties, and so elements in the same group are chemically similar.
The elements in group 7A or 17, gain one electron during ionic bonding, or share one electron when undergoing covalent bonding.
The elements in group 7A or 17, gain one electron during ionic bonding, or share one electron when undergoing covalent bonding.
All of the elements, apart from the transition metals in the middle, are divided into groups. Group 1 elements have 1 electron in their outer shell, and this is the electron used in bonding. Group 2 have 2 electrons, Group 3 elements have 3, and so on. Group 8 elements have a full outer shell, so they generally don't react.
Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium =]
base in my experience.... because of the gravity of the earth...
Valence electrons describe the number of available electrons for bonding. The group number describes outermost electron. The elements in same group has same valence electrons.The number of electrons available for bonding are the valence electrons. In an element, the group number is equal to the number of valence electrons. So the number of electrons available for bonding can be identified by the group number.
Pnictogen are the chemicals in group 15. What is unique about pnictogen elements is that it is made of covalent compounds and have unusual bonding properties.
Copper, gold, and silver are the choices that represent a group of elements with common characteristics. All of these elements are metals.
