What does electro negativity of an element indicate?

How much an element is attracted to receiving valance electrons. The more electronegative, the more it needs electrons.


How does the elements reacts to each other?

An element reacts with another element by sharing electrons. The elements keep sharing electrons until both elements have a full outer shell.


The number of electrons determines what of an element?

The number of loosely held electrons determines the reactivity of an element. Other elements attract electrons and will react also.


What elements have fourtysix electrons?

There's only one neutral element with 46 electrons. It's the same element that has 46 protons. This element is palladium.


An element that gains electrons when combining with other elements is a?

A metalloid :)


Which elements can have 28 protons?

The element with 28 electrons is nickel.


What does the electronegavity of an atom indicate?

Electronegativity of an element refers to its power to attract electrons towards itself. Halogens are most electronegative elements in which fluorine has the highest electronegativity value.


What does an element that forms an anion do?

When the element bonds with another element it accepts electrons (it does not give them away) and becomes negatively charged.


How many unpaired electrons are there in an element in group 3A?

In group 3A elements, or elements in group 13, have only one unpaired electrons.


What are the valencyelectrons or valanced electrons and what is their location in an atom?

Valence Electrons are the outermost electrons in an element and they are used for bonding with other elements.


Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?

Non-metals gain electrons.


Can you find out what the element is by the number of electrons in a neutral atom?

Yes, Elements are identified by the amount of electrons it has. Even isotopes are elements are still recognised by their amount of electrons. For example if you had a question: what element has 2 more electrons that Carbon? Carbon has 6 electrons, so 2 more would be 8. That would mean the element would therefore be Oxygen
