What is the Outermost energy shell called?
Electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
If electrons have the most energy in an atom electrons in an electron cloud electrons in the outermost electron shell electrons in the innermost electron shell electrons in the nucleus?
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
Which element has a full outermost energy level with 2 electrons?
All of them. The s1 shell is the outermost electron shell. Despite being the first shell quoted and the lowest in energy, it is actually the largest in average diameter, and so is the "outermost."
What is the outermost electron shell or ring called?
Electron Shells
An atom contains seven electrons in its outermost energy level the atom is what?
The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.
What is hydrogen outermost energy level?
If you are referring to the valence shell; the answer is one.
What is the optimum number of electrons for sodium to possess in its outermost closed shell?
As a neutral atom, sodium possesses 1 electron in its outermost (3rd) energy level. As a 1+ ion, it possesses 8 electrons in its second energy level, forming an octet, which is the optimum number of electrons for sodium to possess in its outermost energy shell.
What is the numbers of electron in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom?
An oxygen atom has eight electrons. The first electron shell can contain two electrons so that shell is filled leaving six electrons left. Since the second electron shell can contain up to eight electrons, the remaining six electrons go into the second shell. Since the second shell is the outermost shell, there are six electron's in the outer energy level.
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.
The electrons that occupy the outermost filled shell are called?
Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.
Is the outermost electron shell the highest or the lowest energy level shell?
No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.
What is a valence or shell?
The outermost energy level of an atom is referred to as the valence shell.
