Each period has one more energy level than the last: lets look at group 1 the alkaline metals as an example

H - 1 - one energy level

Li - 2,1 - two energy levels

Na - 2, 8, 1 - three energy levels

K - 2, 8, 8, 1 - four energy levels

The Halogen family elements have how many valence electrons?

Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.


What element has atoms with more valence electrons then kernel electrons?

An element with more valence electrons than kernel electrons is typically found in higher energy levels of the periodic table. Examples include elements in the p-block and higher energy levels of d-block, such as sulfur and chlorine. These elements have more valence electrons in their outermost shell compared to the number of electrons in the inner shells.


How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level of oxygen?

Oxygen atoms have 6 electrons in the highest occupied energy level. They are two 2s electrons and four 2p electrons. All elements in Group 16 have 6 valence electrons. For Groups 13-18, subtract 10 from the group number and that gives you the number of valence electrons (the electrons in the highest energy s and p orbitals). The Group 1 elements have one valence electron and the Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. The transition metals can vary in the number of valence electrons. You can't necessarily go by group number for them.


How does the energy of the core electrons compare with the energy of valence electrons?

The energy of the valence electrons is greater than the energy of the core electrons.


What is the number of electrons needed for stability in the groups of the periodic table?

When elements gain three electrons to fill its valence energy level?

When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.


What is the different about the valence electrons for all elements in a group?

Valence electrons for elements in the same group are the same because they are located in the outermost energy level of an atom. This common number of valence electrons is what gives elements within a group similar chemical properties.


How can period number related to the location of valence electrons?

The period number corresponds to the energy level on which the valence electrons are located. As you move across a period from left to right, the number of valence electrons increases by one. This helps determine the reactivity and chemical properties of elements within the same period.


How many valence electrons do each what elements have boron gold krypton and calcium?

Boron has 3 valence electrons, gold has 1 valence electron, krypton has 8 valence electrons, and calcium has 2 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom.


How do you find out how many electrons are in an outer energy level?

You can determine the number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom by looking at its group number on the periodic table. For main group elements, the group number corresponds to the number of valence electrons. For example, group 1 elements have 1 valence electron, group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons, and so on.


How are families within the periodic table similar?

Elements within the same period have the their valence electrons in the same principle energy level. For example, those elements in period 2, have their valence electrons in the 2nd energy level.


How does the energy of the core electrons compare with the energy of valence electrons?

The energy of the valence electrons is greater than the energy of the core electrons.

How many valence electrons do the boron group have?

Boron is located in group 3A. It is group 13 in modern notation. This set of elements have three valence electrons.Boron is in the 13th group in the periodic table. Elements in this group has 3 electrons in the outermost energy level. That means they have 3 valence electrons.


The elements in group 7A have one valence electron true or false?

A valence electron, or valence electrons, are found in all of the elements. A valence electron is an electron located on the out most shell of an element (the valence shell). Most elements will have more than one valence electron. Oxygen, or O, has six valence electrons because its outer shell consists of six electrons.
