What does the number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom indicate about the element?

What it bonds with. If you have a noble gas (like Krypton), since its outer energy level is full, it won't bond with anything. But if you have Hydrogen, who has one electron in the outermost level, it can bond with any other element with enough space on it's outermost energy level.

∙ 16y agoThe number of electron shells and the number of electrons in the outer most shell are what determines what the atom is.

∙ 14y agoNo, the electrons that determine the chemical properties of an atom are those in the electron shell that surrounds the nucleus at a distance.

What element has 6 valence electrons in the 4th energy level?
This element is caesium (Cs), with the atomic number 56.
What information about a representative element can you get from just knowing its group number?
The number of electrons it has in the highest occupied energy level.
What number of an element can be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
The Atomic Number of an element is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element and/or the number of electrons a in neutral atom of that element.
What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element called?
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
Will the total number of electrons change when a specific element's electrons gain energy to shift from the ground state to the excited state?
No. The atom in this case i not ionised.
What is the number of valence electrons (number in the outer most energy level)?
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
How is the element's period related to the number of energy levels over which its electrons are spread?
The period that the element's in is the same number of how many valence electrons (energy level of outer electrons) there are in the element...
What is the number of the prinicpal energy level in which valence electrons are found?
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
What do Valence Electrons determine?
The Group Number of the Element you're working on determines the number of Valence Electrons. Valence electrons are electrons in the outside energy level.
How does the periodic table indicate the numbers of valence electrons an element has?
By the group number of the A columns
What is the maximum number of electrons an element with two energy levels can have?
8 electrons.
What does and element's oxidation number indicate?
An element's oxidation number indicates how many electrons an atom has gained, lost, or shared to become stable.

What is the total number of electrons in the outermost energy level?
The velence electron will vary for element to element and can have 1 to 8 valence electrons.
What is the number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an element in Group 15?
5 valence electrons.
If Nitrogen has the same number electrons in its outer energy level as which element?
chlorine
