What 3 elements that are likely to donate 1 valence electron?
Elements in the 1st group have 1 valence electron. So they are likely to donate 1 electron to get more stable. potassium, rubidium and cesium are likely to donate 1 electron.
What are stable electron configurations are likely to contain?
completely filled valence shells
Which electron on an atom is the most likely one to be removed during a chemical reaction?
Electrons called valence electrons are most likely removed. These are the outermost energy level electrons.
What type of bond would you expect 39k19 to form?
With only 1 electron in its valence shell, the atom is likely to form an Ionic bond.
Why is helium least likely to form an ion?
It's a noble gas with a full outer shell of valence electron. It is naturally averse to losing any of them.
In the formation of an ionic compound a metal atom is most likely to what?
lose an electron and become a positive ion.
What is likely to happen to an atom with one valence electron?
This atom lose an electron.
What 3 elements that are likely to donate 1 valence electron?
Elements in the 1st group have 1 valence electron. So they are likely to donate 1 electron to get more stable. potassium, rubidium and cesium are likely to donate 1 electron.
What are stable electron configurations are likely to contain?
completely filled valence shells
What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns2 np4?
it would be probably 2-.
What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns 1?
Positive 1 charge
What ion is potassium most likely to form in compound?
K+ So it loses one electron
Which group of the periodic table is likely to form ions with a positive 1 charge?
Group one elements have one valence electron. In order to achieve a "happy" electron configuration, they try to lose this valence electron. Electrons have a negative charge, so once they lose this electron, they have a +1 charge.
Which electron on an atom is the most likely one to be removed during a chemical reaction?
Electrons called valence electrons are most likely removed. These are the outermost energy level electrons.
What type of bond would you expect 39k19 to form?
With only 1 electron in its valence shell, the atom is likely to form an Ionic bond.
What are stable electron configurations most likely to contain?
filled energy sublevels
If an atom has 3 electrons how many electrons are in the outer shell Will it be more likely to acquire or lose an electron?
If an atom has three electrons, it will have one valence electron (valance = outer shell). It will be more likely to lose an electron than gain one, since it has only one to lose, but seven to gain.
