When a compound is formed from two or more atoms of different elements, the chemical bonds that form cause the atoms in the compound to have filled valence shells.

Is electron different from other electron?
All electrons of any element are identical.
How many electrons are in the electron cloud in the element germanium?
Germanium has a total of 32 electrons in different orbitals.
Why is there a distinct electron arrangement for each atom?
because different element have different number of electrons.
What is a molecule made of more than one element?
A molecule made up of two or more different elements is known as a compound. The atoms of these different elements are bonded together either ionically or covalentally. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons where as covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. The electrons involved in these bonding types are from the outer most electron shell of the atom.
what statement most completely describes a Lewis electron dot diagram?
a representation of the arrangement of valence electrons in an element, compound, or ion
How is the number of electrons for a neutral atom of a given element related to the atomic number of that element?
The atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element. The proton count is the same as the electron count as all elements have a charge of zero giving them the same. Simplified: the atomic number shows you how many electrons and protons are in the element. If it is a compound and it has a charge of +1 that means the element has lost one electron and has a positive charge. If it gained a electron it would be -1 as electrons are negatively charged.

Does a metal gain or lose an electron when it reacts with a nonmetal?
The metal tends to lose the electron because it has a higher electron affinity, and the nonmetal tends to gain the electron because it has a higher electronegativity. This has to do with the placement of the element on the periodic table. The further to the right you go, the more the element wants to gain electrons in an ionic compound.
What are atoms of the same element with different numbers of electrons?
Usually, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, but when the number of electrons is changed, the atom is considered ionic. An atom that has lost an electron is called an anion, and an atom that has gained an electron is called a cation. One example of a cation is a potassium ion, or K+, and one example of an anion is chloride,(a chlorine ion) or Cl-
What element is found in electrons?
Electron is a fundamental particle, not a chemical element.
How do you work out how many electrons are in an element?
electron +you = how many of it it is
Why are halogens only in compound form?
This has to do with the number of electrons in the outer shell of the element. Simply put, each element has a certain number of electrons, equal to their atomic number on the periodic table. These electrons are found in "shells," and ideally, the outer shell has 8 electrons in it. If it does not, the element will bond with another element, giving or receiving electrons so that the element has a completed outer shell (8 electrons). The halogens all have an outer shell of 7 electrons. They are only one short of a completed outer shell, and therefore it is very easy and desirable for them to pick up an electron from another element, forming a compound and giving them a full, stable outer shell. For example, in the case of sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium has only 1 electron in its outer shell (called a valence electron), while chlorine has 7. It is very easy for sodium to lose that one electron to chlorine, completing chlorine's outer shell and creating a very stable compound. Because halogens so readily attract electrons to form compounds and are so much more stable as compounds than as elements, they are very rarely found not in compound form.
