The tendency of an element to react chemically is closely related to what?

its Atomic Mass.


If carbon has four electrons in its outer shell does it completely fill its outer selectron shell?

Yes. Two of the electrons will go into the carbon's outer s shell (2s) to completely fill it (s orbitals can contain up to two electrons) and the remaining two will go into its outer p shell (2p).


What determines the chemical activity of an atom?

The nucleus of an atom (protons and neutrons) determines if an atom is radioactive. The tendency is, the larger the nucleus, the more unstable it is and the more likely it is to be radioactive. As for the chemical bonding properties of the atom, the electron configuration determines how it will bond, with what it will bond, and in what ratio atoms will bond to form the 20,000,000 different substances on Earth.


What does a drawing of the atomic model for chlorine look like?

An atomic model of chlorine has three electron shells surrounding its nucleus. The first shell has 2 electrons. It has the least amount of kinetic energy among the three shells. The second shell has 8 electrons and has less kinetic energy than the outer shell, but more kinetic energy than the inner shell. The third shell has 7 electrons. It has the highest kinetic energy level of the three shells.


How many elements can the 3rd shell hold?

The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.

What is the atomic number of helium's outer shell?

The outer shell of helium does not have an atomic number, that number belongs to helium itself whose atomic number is 2.


How many electrons are present in the outer shell of an atom with an atomic number of 14 and an atomic weight of 29?

Atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So, in your example, the number of electrons in this atom is 14. The first energy shell can take 2 electrons, the second energy shell can take 8 electrons, and the third energy shell can take 18 electrons. If there are 14 total electrons, 10 would be found in the first two energy shells, leaving 4 for the third energy shell.


What is the atomic number of hydrogen and the number of its electrons in the outer shell?

The atomic number for hydrogen (H) is 1, and it has 1 electron in the outer shell.


How many electrons nitrogen has in its outer energy levels?

Nitrogen has atomic number = 7. The outer shell has 5 electrons, it requires 3 more electrons to complete the outer energy shell.


How many electrons will arsenic gain to have a filled outer shell?

Arsenic, with an atomic number of 33, will gain 3 electrons to have a filled outer shell, achieving stability with 8 electrons in its outer shell like a noble gas.


How many electron are on the outer shell of a manganese?

Manganese, with an atomic number of 25, has 2 electrons in its first shell, 8 in its second, 13 in its third, and 2 in its fourth outer shell. So, there are 2 electrons in the outer shell of a manganese atom.


How many electrons would the atomic structure of Tin have on its outer shell?

There are four electrons found on the outer shell of a atomic structure of tin. They are in a group of four.


What is the number of electrons to fill the outer shell of nitrogen?

As Nitrogen (N) have atomic number 7, and electronic configuration is 2,5. therefore N required 3 elecrons to complete their outermost shell or orbital.


What is the total electrons in outer shell of uranium?

The total number of electrons in the outer shell of uranium is 2 electrons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, which means it has 92 electrons. The electron configuration for uranium is [Rn] 5f3 6d1 7s2, so the electrons in the outermost shell are the 7s2 electrons.


How many electrons does nitrogen require to fill its outer shell?

Its atomic number is 7, and so it needs a further 3 electrons to fill its outer shell.


Does argon has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?

No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.


How many electrons does chlorine have in it's outer shell?

Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell. It needs one more electron to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons, which is why chlorine typically gains an electron to form Cl- ion in chemical reactions.
