How many electrons are there in the inner shell of hydrogen?
there are 2 electrons in the inner shell of a hydrogen atom.
How many additional electrons does a hydrogen atom need to complete its outermost energy levels?
Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to complete its outer shell. the configuration of Hydrogen is 1s1 this indicates that it has only 1 electron in the shell S.and to complete the S shell H needs only one electron as the capacity of the S is 2.
How many electrons does one hydrogen atom have in its outer shell?
Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer shell, and in fact only 1 electron in total.
The outer most shell of an atom is called the?
Valence shell
What aspects of an atom determine how an atom will bond to another atom?
the outermost electrons of an atom. these are called valence electrons. atoms are also grouped in the periodic table based on their valence electrons. to complete a full outermost shell there must be 8 electrons. hydrogen has 1 valence electron. and oxygen has 7. they are able to bond together because of how many valence electrons they have.
Why does an oxegyn atom bond with two hydrogen atoms very easily?
oxygen has 6 valence elctrons and needs two more to complete its electron shell and hydrogen is just what it needs hydrogen has one electron which makes a complete electron shell for oxygen.
Does helium have a complete outer shell?
Not by itself, no (that is, hydrogen is not a noble gas). A neutral hydrogen atom starts out with 1 electron, but it needs 2 electrons to fill its shell. Therefore, a hydrogen atom will often form 1 covalent bond with another atom, in order to gain that 1 extra electron it needs to fill its shell. Important note: Most elements need 8 electrons to get a full shell, but hydrogen is the exception: it only needs 2 electrons to get a full shell.
How many electrons are there in the inner shell of hydrogen?
there are 2 electrons in the inner shell of a hydrogen atom.
How many additional electrons does a hydrogen atom need to complete its outermost energy levels?
Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to complete its outer shell. the configuration of Hydrogen is 1s1 this indicates that it has only 1 electron in the shell S.and to complete the S shell H needs only one electron as the capacity of the S is 2.
Is the hydrogen atom with atomic number of 1 and 1 electron stable?
No. Every atom wants to complete its valence shell. Since Hydrogen has one electron it only fills up half of the sorbital and needs one more electron to fill its shell. This means that the H atom will be very reactive because it wants to fill its valence shell.
How many atoms does hydrogen need for its energy level to be full?
One atom is needed to full the outer shell of a hydrogen atom, this is bacuse in GCSE terms electrom structure goes 2,8,8,2 and hydrogen only has one shell, so it would need 2 to complete this shell. This is the same for A-level however we refer to electron structure in spd, the electron structure of hydrogen then would be 1s1.
How many electrons are there in the innermost shell of an atom of oxygen?
The innermost shell of every atom except hydrogen consists of 2 electrons.
How many electrons does each hydrogen atom have in its valence shell?
Hydrogen doesn't really have a valence shell. It has one electron only.
How many lone pairs has hydrogen sulphide?
A water molecule is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Oxygen atom has six electrons in its outer most shell and a hydrogen atom has one electron in its outer most shell. Oxygen and hydrogen atoms are unstable because they have less than eight electrons in their outer most shells. Oxygen needs two electrons and hydrogen atom requires one electron tocomplete their valence shell. Oxygen atom combines with two hydrogen atoms by sharingelectrons. The bonds present between hydrogen atoms and oxygen atom are called single covalent bonds. In this way, oxygen and hydrogen atoms complete their outer most orbits. Oxygen shares two electrons with hydrogen atoms but its four electrons remain free in the water molecule. Therefore, there are two electron pairs or four electrons present in a water molecule.
Does an atom have a hard shell?
An atom doesn't have a "shell" at all. Electrons orbit an atom at different layers each called a "shell", so your answer is no.
How many atoms are in the last shell of the hydrogen atom?
The hydrogen atom (1H) has only 1 proton and 1 electron (you probably think at this electron).
How many electrons does one hydrogen atom have in its outer shell?
Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer shell, and in fact only 1 electron in total.
