What else can I help you with?
What happens once an atom has full s and p orbitals in its outermost energy level?
Depending on what the level is, it may start filling d orbitals, or start on a new shell with s orbitals available.
What family on the periodic table has full outermost energy levels?
the noble gases, in row 18
What elements have full s and p orbitals?
Elements with full s and p orbitals in their highest electron shell are the noble, or inert, gases of the last column on the periodic table: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.
Can the formation of an ion result in a full outermost energy level?
Yes, the formation of an ion can result in a full outermost energy level. When an atom gains or loses electrons, it can achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of noble gases, which have full outer energy levels. For example, when sodium loses an electron to form a Na⁺ ion, it has a full outer shell, resembling neon. Similarly, nonmetals can gain electrons to fill their outermost energy levels, forming anions.
In what order do electrons full orbitals?
Electrons fill orbitals following the Aufbau principle, which states that electrons occupy the lowest energy orbital available first before moving to higher energy levels. This means filling orbitals in order of increasing energy levels: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, etc.
Which group on the periodic table is unreactive because its outermost energy level is full?
Noble gases are unreactive with the outermost energy level full.
What is the outermost energy level of an atom is considered full if the level contains?
Outermost energy level is full if there are 8 electrons in the valence shell.
Do metals and non metals become more chemically stable when they fill or empty their outermost energy levels?
When they fill their outermost energy levels. Metals will WANT more electrons and Non-Metals will have EXTRA electrons to give. So in a way, Metals will actually fill their outermost energy levels while Non-Metals will empty them; all with the goal of having a FULL valency shell which is stable. This is the basis for ionic bonding.
What has full s and p orbitals in the highest occupied energy levels?
All of the Nobel gases do (He Ne Ar Kr Xe and Rn)
Which of the 2 outermost orbitals must be filled to satisfy the octet rule?
The 2 outermost orbitals that must be filled to satisfy the octet rule are the s and p orbitals. These orbitals can hold a maximum of 8 electrons in total, which is needed to achieve a stable, full octet configuration for many elements.
Which element has a full outermost energy level contining only two electrons?
Helium has a full outermost energy level containing only two electrons.
Explain how valence electrons in an atom are used to form a full outermost energy level?
Atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outermost energy level by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and having a full outermost energy level makes the atom more stable. This stability is achieved when there are eight electrons in the outermost energy level, known as the octet rule.
