The number of electrons that an atom in the halogen family usually gains or shares?
Nitrogen does not lose or gain electrons. It is a diatomic molecule (N2) and is a molecular compound which has covalent bonding. In other words, the molecule has a triple bond, in which 6 electrons are shared, three for each atom.
What is the group number of the halogen family?
17

How many electons does an helogen has?
the number of electrons will depend on the halogen under consideration. But all halogens have 7 valence electrons
How many valence electrons do the halogen have?
The number of electrons in the valence shell of a halogen is 7. What is probably the most significant feature of halogens is that they all are one electron short of the number of electrons required to fill their valence shells, eight. That means they will have similar chemical properties, i.e., they all are on the lookout to borrow one electron.
How are valence electrons calculated?
You can look at the periodic table of the elements and determine the number of valence electrons in that element. The Alkali metals have one The Alkaline earth metals have two The Transition metals have one to three, it depends The Boron family have three The Carbon family have four The Nitrogen family have five The Oxygen family have six The Halogen family have seven The Noble gases have eight
Which family of elements is the most electronegative?
Basically, the more electrons that are present in an atom, the more elctron shells it will have. Look at a periodic table and you'll see Astatine has a proton number of 85 (85 protons), as the number of electrons and protons is equal, we can therefore deduce that it has 85 electrons and is the largest halogen atom. Therefore astatine MUST have the most electron shells as it has more electrons to fill them. Basically, the more electrons that are present in an atom, the more elctron shells it will have.
