Atoms with larger atomic numbers have a larger electron cloud, or system of orbitals
What is the smallest subatomic particles?
Of the three basic particles that atoms are made of, the electron is the smallest.
Does the ion enable a neutron to change into a proton and an electron in certain unstable atoms?
no
How many electron shells do the atoms of elements in the second period have?
two K and L
What is the valence electron hybridzation of SF6?
Since the central sulfur has six atoms bound to it, it is sp3d2
The arrangement of an atoms electrons is known as the atoms?

What is the electron configuration for aluminum foil?
The electron configuration for aluminum atoms, which is 1s22s22p63s23p1.
What is electron configuration of H2SO4?
We use electron configuration for atoms or ions. You can't use it for compounds.
What electron configuration do atoms acheieve by sharing electrons form covalent bonds?
They achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.
What do the Group IA atoms have to do to become a noble gas configuration?
They have one valence electron. If this electron is lost, the atoms form cations with the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.
Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve?
A stable electron configuration.
State the importance of the noble-gas electron configuration in the formation of ions?
Chemical properties depend on electron configuration. By either gaining or losing electrons, an atom changes its electron configuration and therefore its chemical properties also change.The atoms of an element will react to achieve a noble-gas configuration. The atoms will either gain or lose electrons to achieve such a configuration.
What does oxygen need to do in order to to achieve a stable electron configuration?
Oxygen atoms need to share or gain two electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is the electron configuration of boron?
The atoms of the element boron (atomic number 5) have the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p1 *or noble-gas form [He] 2s2 2p1
What is the electron configuration using noble-gas notation of calcium?
No Such ... all atoms have an electron configuration, yet Ca++ is not a noble gas.
What is is the reason that atoms bond with other atoms?
To gain electronic stability (i.e. stability with respect to their electron configuration)
How does potassium and fluorine atoms change their electron configuration to obain a noble gas structure?
Potassium must lose one electron (to have the same configuration as the noble gas argon), and fluorine must gain one electron (to have the same configuration as neon)
