The elements that typically give up electrons are the ones which have the lowest ionization energy. The valence electron which holds on loosely will be the one to be given out easily.
Assuming that series is used the same way as group in the periodic table, elements in the same series have the same number of valence electrons.
3. Thats what the DAT says. But I think its 2. 3p2
there gay thats what
metallic elements of course. it is generally any element that has less than 4 valence electrons,i.e. electrons in its outermost shell and is found to the left of carbon, silicon, germanium, tellurium, potanium in the periodic table.
== == The valency of an element is the measure of electrons it needs or needs to loose to obtain a stable structure (a noble gas structure, such as helium, neon, argon ...) for example in NaCl, sodium has 11 electrons which means 1 valence electron, chlorine has 17 electrons which means it has -1 valence electrons; so sodium looses 1 electron and chlorine gains that electron so sodium ends up with 10 electrons (Neon's electron structure) and chlorine ends up with 18 electrons (Argon's electron structure) the number of outer electrons. Noble elements are the most stable elements (thats why they don't react well and stay alone, like helium) so all the other elements try to obtain the noble electron structure. Elements usually gain or loose 4 electrons.
Magnesium is a metal element. There are 12 electrons in a single atom.
because thats just the way it is, simple as that.
personification
i dont know thats why i came here da
Nickel, copper, gold, zinc, and thats all I have.
Current as a transfer of (+) charge so thats its direction of flow is opposite to that of electrons which are (-) charged
an ion is an atom thats no longer neutral because it gained or has lost electrons.
