Atoms in column 7 of the Periodic Table have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
Atoms are most stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell.
So atoms of elements in column 7 have a strong attraction for 1 electron.
Flourine being the smallest atom in that column has the strongest attraction for 1 electron.
What else can I help you with?
If an element gains electrons what type of oxidation number does it have and how do you know?
If an element gains electrons, it has a negative oxidation number. The oxidation number is determined based on the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom in a compound. The rule is that in ionic compounds, the oxidation number of an element is equal to the charge it would have if it were an ion.
What type of bond gains and loses electrons?
These are ionic bonds.
How an element gets an oxidation number?
An element's oxidation number is determined based on its electron configuration and the number of electrons it gains or loses when forming chemical bonds. The rules for assigning oxidation numbers depend on the type of element and the chemical compound in which it appears. Oxidation numbers help to track the flow of electrons in chemical reactions.
An element with 20 protons and 20 electrons gains one electron The electron goes into what type of orbital?
The extra electron would go into a 4s orbital because 4s can hold up to 2 electrons before 3d can be filled.
Which type of element tends to give away electrons conduct electricity and is lustrious?
Metals are typically the type of element that tends to give away electrons easily, conduct electricity well, and exhibit lustrous characteristics. Metals have mobile electrons that can move freely, allowing for electrical conduction, and their shiny appearance is due to their ability to reflect light.
What type of bonding is CaO?
CaO exhibits ionic bonding. Calcium (Ca) is a metal element that loses electrons to form a cation, while oxygen (O) is a nonmetal element that gains electrons to form an anion. The resulting interaction between the oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of an ionic bond in CaO.
What type of ion is formed from a neutral atom when it gains electrons?
Negatively charged anions are formed.
If an element has more electrons then protons what type of ion is it?
Anion.
What type of properties do valence elcectrons determine for an element?
Valence electrons determine the reactivity of the element.
In what type of material do electrons move easily?
Metal, I think.
In what type of material do electrons move easily in?
Metal, I think.
What type of element tends to lose electrons which form bonds?
Non-metals
