What element is a noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell?
Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet. Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet.
What family contains a full octet of valence electrons?
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
How many electrons must an atom have to fulfill the octet?
2 or more electrons, because Oxygen already has 8.
What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
Does uranium have an octet?
All the elements have a tendency to form an octet.
How could xenon achieve a stable octet?
Xenon, like all the noble gases except helium, already has a stable octet!
Can a Neutral unbonded atom complete valence octet?
if it is a noble gas it already has an octet, otherwise, it would need to gain or use electrons to complete an octet and would no longer be neutral or unbounded.
What family has complete octet of valence electrons?
Noble gasses have the complete octet of valence electrons. The are in the family 18 of the periodic table. They are unlikely to react with other elements.
What element is a noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell?
Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet. Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet.
Another word for an 8 piece band?
its called an octet
What family contains a full octet of valence electrons?
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
How does neon obey the octet rule when reacting to form ionic compounds?
Neon obeys the octet rule by not reacting and not forming ionic compounds as it already has a stable outer shell of eight electrons.
Which family on the periodic table have octet in their valence energy level?
Noble gases (except for helium).
How many electrons must an atom have to fulfill the octet?
2 or more electrons, because Oxygen already has 8.
Which family commonly becomes a negative 3 ion?
nitrogen family because nitrogen family wants to complete its octet by taking three electrons from other compounds.
What is the first of the noble gas family whose highest energy level consists of an octet of electrons?
Neon
How many electrons that an atom in the oxygen family gain or share?
Atoms in the oxygen family can gain or share two electrons in order to achieve an octet of electrons.
