the number of valence electrons is directly proportional to the group number in which the element is forund in the Periodic Table. for example, chlorine is in Group 7 so it has 7 valence electrons.

How many electrons will groups 1 and 2 and 3 lose?

Groups determine the number of electrons on the outer shell of an atom. When elements react, they want to complete their outer most shell. Filling the outer most shell is called the octet rule. In the cases of groups 1, 2 and 3, they want to donate, 1, 2 or 3 electrons to lose the outer most shell and form a completed outer shell.


What is the pattern of outer shell electrons in a group?

In a group, elements have the same number of outer shell electrons, which corresponds to the group number. For example, elements in Group 1 have 1 outer shell electron, elements in Group 2 have 2 outer shell electrons, and so on. This pattern helps determine the reactivity and chemical properties of elements within the same group.


What has 5 electrons in its outer shell?

If you are talking about the valance electrons any elements in group 5 on the periodic table will have 5 valance electrons.


Elements with complete outer shells?

Elements with complete outer shells have a full valence shell of electrons and are stable. This configuration is typically achieved by having eight electrons in the outer shell (known as the octet rule) or two electrons for the first shell. These elements are generally inert or have low reactivity due to their stable electron configuration.


What are the Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell Every element in group two has two electrons in its outer shell?

Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.

Elements react with other elements based on the number of what in their outer shell?

Elements react with other elements based on the number of electrons in their outer shell, also known as valence electrons. Elements are most stable when their outer shell is full, so they will either gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell.

The elements within a group have a similar number of?

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.

How do the electron configuration within the same group of electrons compare?

Groups on the Periodic Table run vertically. Each group has the same number of valence electrons in its outer shell, meaning that each will react similarly to the other elements.
