How many electrons fill the outer shell of helium?
There is only one electron inhabiting hydrogen and the compound therefore only has one shell, effectively making that shell the outer shell. TL;DR There is 1 electron in the outer shell of hydrogen.
How is it possible that the outer electron of a transition element go to the inner shell?
Under normal conditions, all of the inner shells are already full to their maximum occupancy, and so no additional electrons can go into the inner shell. Only with excitation with light can you create a vacancy in the inner shell such that outer shell electrons can fill that vacancy. This requires excitation with either ultraviolet light or x-rays.
How many electrons must an iodide ion lose to achieve a noble gas electron structure?
It should actually obtain an electron in order to fill its outer shell.
Why do the halogens in group 7a have such high electron in affinities?
Mostly they are highly electronegative and they only need one electron to fill their outer shell in a noble gas octet configuration.
What phrase describes the position of an electron relates to its energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
What part of the atom is involved in formation of chemical bond?
This would be the electron. Chemical bonds involve one of two main types of bonding. These are ionic, where one element gives an electron to another element that needs it to fill its outer shell, or where 2 elements share an electron (or more than 1) each to fill the shell (covalent bonding).

How many valence electron does phosphorous need to fill its outer shell?
3
How many electrons to fill outer shell of oxygen?
Oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's valence shell which is why it forms a 2- ion.

How many electron shells does calcium fill?
You can calculate the total capacity of an electron shell using the formula 2n2,... electron shell, it would need 10 electrons: 2 to fill the 1st shell and 8 to fill the2nd. ... In other words, in an atom with 20 electrons (which is the element calcium
How many electrons would be expected in the outer most shell of an atom with an atomic number of 10?
Given what we know about electron structure, we would expect there to be 8 electrons in the outer shell of an atom with the atomic number of 10. And that's how many there are. Element 10 is neon, and like all noble or inert gases, it has a full outer shell.There are only two electron shells for all the elements up through element 10 (neon). The first shell will only accept 2 electrons. That's the s shell, and it's the outer shell (and the only shell) for helium (the lightest inert gas). The next 8 electrons will fill the second electron shell, which is the p shell. That means element 10 (the inert gas neon) will have a full s shell (2 electrons) and a full p shell (8 electrons).
How many electrons for hydrogen does it take to fill its outer shell?
Hydrogen can hold only 1 electron.
What group NORMALLY bonds with halogens?
Group 1 Alkali metals because the halogens need one electron to fill their outer electron shell.
How many valence electrons will make an element stable?
The number depends on what will fill the outer shell. It can be 2 or 8.
