There would be two electrons. The electronic configuration would be just 1s2 and this is termed the duplet configuration.

How many electrons are in the outer energy level of xenon?

There are 8 electrons in the outer energy level of xenon. Xenon belongs to the noble gas group on the periodic table, which have a full outer energy level with 8 electrons.


How many electrons in the outer energy level does bromine have?

Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer energy level, making it one electron short of a full outer shell.


How are the outer energy levels of nonmetals different from metals?

Nonmetals almost have a full outer energy level while metals have few electrons in their outer energy level.


How many electrons do the halogens have in their outer most energy level?

The halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shell desparate to gain the 1 electron to make a full shell of 8 electrons.


How many electrons is considered full in the outer most energy level of an atom?

8


What happens if an atom has 6 electrons in its outer energy level?

If an atom has 6 electrons in its outer energy level it will acquire two more electrons two give it a full octet. This will be done through the formation of two chemical bonds or a double bond.


What a gas in the rightmost column of the periodic table with a full outer energy level?

Noble gases are the gases in the rightmost column of the Periodic Table that have a full outer energy level. This is why the noble gases do not react with other elements readily. When an atom has a full outer energy level, it means that it has the maximum number of electrons in these outer shells, making it stable.


Why does does oxygen and hydrogen react together?

because they both want to gain full outer shell. They don't have completed outer shells. Hydrogen has one electron in it's outer shell so it wants to ger rid of that by giving it to oxygen. (oxygen itself needs two electrons to get full outer shell which is 8 electrons, so two hydrogens are needed to complete one oxygen atom) and then water is formed.


What is considered a full outer ring of an atom?

A full outer ring of an atom is when it has achieved the stable electron configuration known as the octet rule, where the outermost energy level is filled with 8 electrons (2 electrons for hydrogen and helium). This makes the atom more stable and less reactive.


How many electrons are in the outer energy level of the atoms of alkali earth metals?

Alkali earth metals have 2 electrons in their outer energy level. This outer level is known as the valence shell, and having 2 electrons makes these metals highly reactive and likely to form ionic bonds to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons.


If the outer energy level of an atom is filled with electrons will it react?

If the outer energy level of an atom is already filled with electrons, it is less likely to react because atoms tend to be more stable when their outer energy levels are full. This full outer level signifies that the atom has achieved a more stable electron configuration (usually the octet rule for most elements).


How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen usually have in it's outer orbit?

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. These are in the outer orbit.
