awesomeness
a yolk, a white part(soft), and shell and outer shell. :) i've been looking it up all day this is the best I got.
Yes. Two of the electrons will go into the carbon's outer s shell (2s) to completely fill it (s orbitals can contain up to two electrons) and the remaining two will go into its outer p shell (2p).
The atoms it is made out of do not have 1 or 2 valence electron on the outer shell, so therefore they do not conduct electricity well. Atoms that do have 1 or 2 valence electron on the outer shell, like copper, conduct electricity well.
4 to fill the 2p shell
It depends on the particular atom in question. Any of those subshells can make up the outer shells of atoms. Examples: In Mg, the outer shell is the 2s subshell. In P, the outer shell is the 3p subshell. In Fe, the outer shell is the 3d subshell, etc.
Electrons. Electrons are also made up of quarks but you dont have to go that far if you arent in an advanced class.
This depends on whether or not the outer shell is filled and you have a noble gas or if it is anything other than a noble gas. But since I'm sure no one wants to sit here all day and read an absurdly long explanation, here's the short answer. The electrons in the outer shell that are not "happy", or in other words, the electrons in the outer shell that do not fill up the shell completely example 7 electrons in a shell that needs 8 to fill it up) are called valence electrons. And there you have it...
The nebula that remains after it blows up.
Atoms often form ions by losing or gaining enough electrons to end up with a full outer shell. How many electrons are in a full outer shell for most atoms? Don't know? How about Googling full outer shell?
If you can find a dot diagram, look at the outer shell and count the electrons. The outer electrons is the amount of valence electrons.
the outer cell will burn up leaving calcium-oxide
Sodium has ONE valence electron in its outer shell that is to be donated to any kind of oxidant. By then the outer (3rd) shell (of the Na+ ion) is EMPTY, so the 2nd shell has become the outmost, containing 8 electrons (Ne-configuration). No electrons at all are taken up by sodium.
