Noble gases are very stable because their outermost electron shells contain the maximum number of electrons that those outermost shells can possess?
Noble gases are very stable because their outermost electron shells contain the maximum number of electrons that those outermost shells can possess. This is a correct statement. Yes.
What are the smallest particle of an element?
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
How many total electrons does an atom possess if it has the first two electron orbitals completed?
4 electrons. First orbital is the 1s which has 2 electrons. Second orbital is the 2s which has 2 electrons.
The reason there are fourteen different f-block elements in a period can be described by what statements?
There are 7 different f-orbitals and each orbital can hold 2 electrons.
What is the same number of possess of atom of one type of element?
protons and electrons
If the atom which has a 2 valence electrons became a positive two cation how many electrons would it then possess?
It would be a group 6 element posessing 8 electrons in the outermost shell but the total number would depend on which element it was.
Noble gases are very stable because their outermost electron shells contain the maximum number of electrons that those outermost shells can possess?
Noble gases are very stable because their outermost electron shells contain the maximum number of electrons that those outermost shells can possess. This is a correct statement. Yes.
Examine the following set of ionization energy values for a certain element How many valence electrons does an atom of the neutral element possess?
Ionization stepIonization energy ()101219032912495662732223325997 for this chart, the greatest increase was from E_15 to E_16. therefore 5 electrons are in the valence shell
What element has a plus 2 oxidation number?
those elements which can donate two electrons will possess plus two oxidation state like calcium , magnesium ,etc...
If an atom has 12 protons and electrons how many valence electrons would it possess?
2
How many valence electrons does an atom of barium possess?
A barium atom has two valence electrons.
How are isotpes of an element the same and different?
Isotopes of an element are the same in that they are both forms of the same element. All carbon isotopes, for example, are forms of the carbon atom. Each isotope will possess the same number of protons and electrons (equivalent to the element's atomic number). However, isotopes of an element possess different numbers of neutrons, altering their atomic mass. As such, if you know the atomic mass (or weight) of a given isotope, you already know the number of protons and electrons. Using the measured mass of the proton (around 1.007 amu) and the measured mass of the electron (around 0.00055 amu), you can determine the remaining mass from the neutrons and, consequently, the number of neutrons.
What element does all living organisms possess?
Carbon
Does atom aluminum and gallium have same total of valence electrons?
Gallium possess total inner electrons
How many s electrons does P (atomic number 15) possess?
Phosphorus (neutral atom) has 15 electrons.
What are the smallest particle of an element?
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
