How do you find the mass of an element?
Mass number..can be calculated..by the sum of No. of protons and the No. of electrons. And this would give you the the mass number of the element.
What does an element that forms an anion do?
When the element bonds with another element it accepts electrons (it does not give them away) and becomes negatively charged.
What elements easily give up electrons?
Metals, particularly the alkali metals- lithium, sodium, potassium, etc
What are Lewis dot structure used to represent?
Lewis dot structures are used to represent the covalent electrons of an element. It can be used to show the sharing of covalent electrons in a covalent bond or just to show the covalent bonds in general.
What has scientist listed to be at the top of items that hold or give up electrons?
The most electronegative element is fluoride. The most electropositive element would be Francium however there has never been enough of it collected to perform the measurement on.
Does Francium give away electrons easily or hold on to them tightly?
As an element of Alkali metals family, It will give away its electrons very easily to produce monovalent Fr+ ion
What is the relationship between an element's number of valence electrons and its reactivity?
When we say valence electron we mean the number of electron left it the outermost shell of element, valence electron can be positive of negetive. If an element need much electrons to be octet, that means that the element is not reactive than the one who will give out electrons, the the one who can give electrons much are less reactive than the one who can give a litle and the reaction will be normal as it is soppused to be, Eg lithium and berylium. Lithium is more reactive than berylium because lithuin has 1valence electron while berylium has 2....reactivity goes with the action of valence electron in an element
Which element would be most likely to gain electrons in a chemical bond?
That depends on the reaction, and the gain of electrons is refereed to as reduction.
How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of radium?
Two electrons in the outer shell of radium.
How to find the total electron in element?
To find the total number of electrons in an element, first you need to look up the element's atomic number. That number tells you how many protons are in the element. Then, look up the net charge of the element. The number of protons subtracted by the elements net charge will give you the number of its electrons.
Charcateristics of a element?
The smallest particle that has characteristics of that element is the atom. The atom is made up of a certain amount of protons, electrons and (neutrons) and those are what give the characteristics of that element to that atom.
Which type of element tends to give away electrons conduct electricity and is lustrious?
matals
