What are the electron configurations for beryllium in all three forms?
1s22s2, [He]2s2, 2-2
Why are the nuclear configurations of the actinides more important than their electron configurations?
The nuclear structure is more important because the nuclei of actinides are unstable and spontaneously break apart
What is the results of losing electrons?
when a neutral atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. it now has a stable outer most shell.
Is it possible for an atom to have no neutrons?
A hydrogen atom is only a proton and an electron. Beyond that the neutron seems to keep the nucleus together and stable. Maybe a better question is, "What is the difference between a hydrogen atom without an electron and a proton?"
Whats molybdenum's electron configuration?
Molybdenum's electon configuration is [Kr] 5s1 4d5 this is because all elements want to be half-full or full. so the 2nd electron in the 5s2 moves to make the 4d4 complete so it turns to 5s1 4d5....making Mo half-full and stable.
Do Helium Xenon and Neon have stable electron configurations?
Yes. Helium, Xenon, and Neon have stable electron numbers (octette rule).
How many energy levels do the most stable electron configurations have?
6
What is a pseudo-noble gas?
Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration. Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.
Some elements achieve stable electron configurations through the transfer of?
electrons
How do elements achieve stable electron configurations between two atoms?
protons
What are stable electron configurations are likely to contain?
completely filled valence shells
When comparing the electron configurations of neon and fluorine what must happen for fluorine to become stable?
flourine must gain one electron
Why can't all atoms exist independently while all molecules exist independently?
Many atoms have electron configurations that are unstable. By sharing electrons with one or more other atoms, new, more stable electron configurations form.
How do you write out the electron configurations of solutions?
Solutions are mixtures of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. They do not have electron configurations. Only atoms and ions have electron configurations.
What is the most stable number of valence electrons?
The most stable number of valence electrons is 2 for hydrogen and helium, which have only one electron shell in the shell model for atomic electron configurations, and 8 for all other elements.
What are stable electron configurations most likely to contain?
filled energy sublevels
What are the examples of elements with predictable electron configurations?
All of the representative elements (s and p block) have predictable electron configurations. However, many of the transition elements have electron configurations that are not predicted by the rules for determining electron configuration.
