When non metal atoms bond with each other what kind of electron configuration does each nonmetal atom tend to rnd up with?
Non-metal atoms form covalent bonds in which their unpaired valence electrons are shared between the atoms. This sharing has the overall effect of giving both atoms an octet of valence electrons, or two valence electrons in the case of hydrogen.
What will a non-metal do with its valence electrons?
Nonmetals attract electrons.
Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having?
highly mobile electrons in the valence shell
What metal has two valence electrons?
calcium
How many valence electrons are in calcium?
Calcium is a non metal element. There are 20 electrons in a single atom.
What happens to the valence electrons of atoms in metallic bond?
Metals have metal bonds. valence electron make bonds with metal ions.
Why are the valance electrons of metallic bonds different from other bonds?
In a metal the valence electrons delocalize into the conduction band, becoming an "electron gas" that fills the metal's bulk volume.In covalent bonds the valence electrons are shared between local pairs of atoms.In ionic bonds the valence electrons leave the "metal" and move to the "nonmetal" creating a pair of separate oppositely charged ions.In resonance bonds the valence electrons oscillate between being shared between two nearby local pairs of atoms.etc.To summarize in metals the valence electrons become delocalized, in other bonds the valence electrons stay local.
What do metals do with their valence electrons when they form chemical bonds?
Metals generally transfer their electrons, in other words are oxidised to form cations, such as Na+ and Fe3+ In a metallic bond the valence electrons are delocalised around the lattice (in the solid) or the metal atoms in molten state (sea of electrons model) Metal atoms can also form covalent bonds, these are most common amongst the more electronegative metals, in these, as in any other covalent bond the electrons are shared (generally in a polar covalent bond)
What is the deference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds?
covalent bonds: relatively low melting point, bond is not as strong as ionic, form between two nonmetals, valence electrons are shared between the atoms. ionic: relatively high melting point, stronger bond than covalent, form between a metal and nonmetal, valence electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, leaving the metal with a positive charge and the nonmetal with a negative charge. these charged particles are called ions. positive ion=cation, negative ion=anion.

What will a non-metal do with its valence electrons?
Nonmetals attract electrons.
Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having?

What will a metal do with its valence electrons Why?
they are making metal bonds. that is the purpose.
How many valence electrons does an metal have?
1
What metal has two valence electrons?
calcium
What is the metallic bond an attraction between?
A metal action and the shared electrons that surround it.
How many valence electrons are in iridium?
2 valence electrons are in iridium because iridium is a transition metal. Most transitions metal would have 2 valence electrons because the group before the transition metals are the alkaline-earth metals which contains 2 valence electrons in that group making the transition metals have 2 valence electrons.
