Is the outer shell of nickel full?
no its outside shell has 10/18 electrons
Which element have 10 electrons and 10 neutrons?
Neon is the element with 10 electrons. Neon has 2 electrons in the K shell (or first energy level), and 8 electrons in the L shell (the second energy level).
How many more electrons does phosphorus have than boron?
Phosphorus has 10 more electrons. A neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons, 3 in the outer 3p shell There are 5 electrons in a neutral atom of boron, 1 in the outer 2p shell.
How is the radius of an atom related to the atoms attraction for outer level electrons?
As the radius of an atom increases, the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged outer level electrons decreases. This is because the outer level electrons are farther away from the "home base." So, as atomic size (radius) increases, the nucleus has less and less a hold on those outermost electrons. For this reason, cesium (Cs, atomic #55) has very large atomic size and very low electronegativity. Fluorine (F, atomic #9) has very small atomic size but large electronegativity.
Why is group 18 most stable on the periodic table?
An atom is stable, and unreactive, if it has a full outer shell.That is, if it has 2, 10, 18 or 20 electrons.Atoms with any other number of electrons do not have full outer shells, and thus are unstable and reactive.
How many electrons in zinc outer level?
10 electrons
How many outer-shell electrons does sulfur have?
Sulfur has 6 outer shell electrons, as do all other atoms in column 16 of a wide form Periodic Table, in the usual chemical meaning. A physicist, especially a spectroscopist, might well consider only the 3p electrons of sulfur the outer shell, since the 3s electrons have a detectably lower energy level. On that view, sulfur would contain 4 outer shell electrons.
Elements in the same group of the periodic table?
The elements in the same column of the periodic table share the number of electrons in the outer shell (vallence electrons.) The most electrons that can be found in the outer shell is 8. After the column number extends further than 8 you subtract 10 from the number. That meaning hydrogen, the first element on the periodic table, would have one electron on its outer shell.
How many electrons fill up an outer shell?
The number of electrons depends on the element and it may vary from 1 to 2 (for s block elements), 3 to 8 (for p block elements), 1 to 10 for d block elements and 1 to 14 (fro f block elements).
Why are Neon and Argon such nonreactive elements in the periodic table?
Neon (atomic number 10) and Argon (atomic number 18) mostly do not react with other elements because their outermost electron shells have a full complement of electrons. When two elements combine into a molecule they share electrons from their outermost electron shell. This happens when one element has a minimal number of electrons in its outer shell and the other element has an almost full complement of electrons in its outer shell. When they share electrons, they both have the equivalent of full outer electron shells. Since both Neon and Argon have full outermost shells by themselves they do not have a tendency to share electrons.
What is the number of electrons in the sub level d?
The maximum number of electrons in a 'D' sublevel is 10
How many electrons does oxygen need to fill its outer shell?
10 electrons
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level of oxygen?
Oxygen atoms have 6 electrons in the highest occupied energy level. They are two 2s electrons and four 2p electrons. All elements in Group 16 have 6 valence electrons. For Groups 13-18, subtract 10 from the group number and that gives you the number of valence electrons (the electrons in the highest energy s and p orbitals). The Group 1 elements have one valence electron and the Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. The transition metals can vary in the number of valence electrons. You can't necessarily go by group number for them.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of P in the compound PCl5?
10
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).
Is the outer shell of nickel full?
no its outside shell has 10/18 electrons
Atom whose atomic number is 10 has how many electrons in its outermost energy level?
Element number 10 is neon (Ne), and it has 8 electrons in its outer, or valence level. It's electron configuration is 1s22s22p6. You can see that energy level 2 has full 's' and 'p' sublevels, which is a very stable arrangement. This explains why neon is inert.
