Any Group 1 or Group 2 element will easily give up an electron. examples are:
Sodium (Na)
Potassium (K)

How can you tell whether or not an element will react with others element?
Depending on how many valence electrons in the element has, The other element could take away a valence electron to make eight
How many elements does the outer electron have?
An electron is not an element.
What is the number of electron shells in the element magnesium?
Rather than to give a simple number as answer, I suggest to look up Magnesium on wikipedia, where you will even find a picture with the electron configuration. (And this method can be applied to answer the same question for any other element.)
Which element has 1 valence electron and is in period 1.?
The element with 1 electron in period 1 would be hydrogen.
Are atomic nuclei mostly empty?
yes. The distance between the Nucleus and an electron cloud varies from atom to atom (element to element). think of a basket ball as the nucleus. The 1st electron cloud could be as far as 1-5 km away. A lot of empty space
What electron will hydrogen give away?
none
What is the outer negative particle that give an element its physical properties?
The electron
What is the relationship between an element's number of valence electrons and its reactivity?
When we say valence electron we mean the number of electron left it the outermost shell of element, valence electron can be positive of negetive. If an element need much electrons to be octet, that means that the element is not reactive than the one who will give out electrons, the the one who can give electrons much are less reactive than the one who can give a litle and the reaction will be normal as it is soppused to be, Eg lithium and berylium. Lithium is more reactive than berylium because lithuin has 1valence electron while berylium has 2....reactivity goes with the action of valence electron in an element

Describe how ionic bonding works?
Ionic bonding is an intermolecular attraction force within the structure, it is the resultant force when a metal and non-metal element comes together to share their electron. What happens is that Metals are eager to give away their valance electron in order to stabile itself. All metals have the tendency to give away their valance electrons to a non-metal element, A metal has between 1 to 4 electrons in their valance shell, which makes them quiet reactive and unstable, so they tend to give them away. Non-metals have between 5 to 7 electrons in their valance shell so they are eager to adopt free electron from a metal element to complete its outer shell. Ionic bonds are polar, meaning they are multi charged compounds, they are soluble in water
If one element give an electron to another atom what kind of bond is formed?
This is an ionic bond.
Does calcium give away elctron and gain electron?
No, it can not do both at the same time.
What element has no electron affinity?
Helium has no electron affinity.
How many elements does the outer electron have?
An electron is not an element.
What is the most explosive substance on earth?
The most explosive element is Francium, located on the bottom left hand corner on the Periodic Table of Elements. It is extremely reactive, as it wants to "give" away one electron to become stable.
What happens when you take away a proton?
Taking both will lead to a new, neutral element. Taking away an electron will make it positively charged, and taking away a proton will make it negatively charged. Removing both of these make it neutral, and it forms an element one atomic number smaller.
