Why is it easy for some elements to lose electrons and harder for others?

The further away electrons are from the nucleus the easier it is for atoms to use electrons.

∙ 12y agowell that's because all elements need 8 electrons in the valence level to be stable and (depending on which group that particular element is in) they will bond ionicly, covalently or hydrogenously with other elements that also need to be stable.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe reactivity of elements is determined by the placement and number of their valence electrons. The further from the nucleus that the valence electrons are, the more reactive the element will be.

How many electrons will group 13 lose or gain?
Al, Ga, and In each lose 3 electrons. Its easy to remember, because there are three of them and they each lose three electrons. The other elements in group 13 vary
What elements gain 2 electrons when they combine with another element?
The elements that gain two electrons when they react are the ones found in group 14 of the periodic table. Oxygen is a good example of such elements.
Why do groups 1 and 2 in the periodic table react easily?
The elements in group one and two react so easily because they have only one or two valence electrons, and the non metals, want those electrons. These group elements loose 1 or 2 electron to be stable instead of gaining 6 or 7 to complete the outer shell attain stable electronic configuration of a noble gas.
How do you count the valence electrons of an atom?
Take the atomic number then subtract the amount of valence electrons. Example: Number of non valence (inner) electrons in Sulfur: 16 (atomic number) - 6 (valence electrons) = 10 (valence or inner electrons)
Why is it easy for a metal to loose an electron?
Metals useually have few valence electrons and they loose electrons from their outermost shell thus, forming an ion with positive charge (cations). This is because it is easy for metals to loose electron and attain stable or octet configuration similar to rare gases. Hence to attain stability metals lose valence electrons. E.g. sodium (At no. =11 ; electronic configu-1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1) metal has one valence electron and it is easy for it to loose 1e rather to gain 7e to attain stable configuration. Hence it loose 1e forming Na+ cation.
What is high resistance and low resistance?
Low resistance lets electrons through easy, and high makes it harder for them to pass. Basically electricity is harder to flow through high resistance and vice versa.

How many valence electrons does an element in group 4 have are they reactive?
All elements in group four have FOUR valence electrons. This is easy to remember because the group number located at the top of the periodic table of elements corresponds precisely in all cases to the experimentally observed number of valence electrons in the elements. It is also important to know that the elements in group eight (the inert gases) all have eight valence electrons, meaning that they can neither gain or lose electrons in the way of bonding with other elements, thus the maximum number of valence electrons any molecule can have is eight.
When was Harder Than Easy created?
Harder Than Easy was created on 2009-09-15.
Why do non metallic elements pull electrons so effectivley during a reaction?
Nonmetallic elements take electrons from metals because unstable elements want to have a full valence (outer) electron shell. The metallic elements usually have a less then half full valence shell, it would be easy for them just to get rid of the electrons opposed to having to find more. Nonmetals usually only need one to four electrons so taking them from a metal would be easier then losing all of their electrons.
Why is it easy for oxygen to react with other elements?
Oxygen is a really strong oxidizing agent, meaning it's really greedy with electrons. It really wants to become stable like the noble gases, who have completely filled electron shells. The only way to get electrons is to oxidize other elements and steal their electrons. That's why oxygen is so reactive.
Is Temple Run hard?
It depends on the player. To some people, it's the hardest game around. To others, it's so easy they can do it in their sleep. For me, it is very easy at the begining, but when it gets harder, it isn't that bad.
Why do some materials conduct electricity better than others?
That has to do with the ability for electrons to move withing the material. Some metals, like copper, contain a free-moving "lattice" of electrons, which allows a lot of movement. Other materials such as rubber have their electrons very tightly bound, and so have a greater resistance to current.Some elements do not let go of their electrons as easily as others do. The atoms in a NON-conductive material are 'stable' or balanced while conductive elements pass electrons to each other freely.
What does consolidated resorts refer to?
Consolidated resorts are normally cheaper and are better than others like them. Finding them online is quite easy, but find the right one for you will be harder.
What is outer shell electrons do group 1 elements?
i guess you mean that the group 1 elements usually lose a electron in order to become stable because the outermost of the group 1 elements have only one valence electron and it is easy to lose one than to gain seven.
Why are their bullys in schools?
it is simple, there are two ways to build yourself up. the harder one is to work hard at life. the other, the easy option, is to knock others down below you.
