Hydrogen is group 1 family, which is Alkali metals. Therefore, Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outermost shell. This means, it will perform +1 ion when they react. === ===

Does helium have a complete outer shell?

Not by itself, no (that is, hydrogen is not a noble gas). A neutral hydrogen atom starts out with 1 electron, but it needs 2 electrons to fill its shell. Therefore, a hydrogen atom will often form 1 covalent bond with another atom, in order to gain that 1 extra electron it needs to fill its shell. Important note: Most elements need 8 electrons to get a full shell, but hydrogen is the exception: it only needs 2 electrons to get a full shell.


How many electrons does hydrogen have to fill its outer shell?

Hydrogen has one electron. Its outer shell the first energy level has just one orbital, 1s which could hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so hydrogen only partially fills the level.


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.


How many does hydrogen electrons in the outer shells?

Hydrogen has only one valence electrons.


How many electrons in the outer shell does hydrogen ion have?

no electron is present in the outer most shell of hydrogen ion


Is Hydrogen Iodide a ionic or covalent compound?

Hydrogen iodide is a covalent compound. It is formed by the sharing of electrons between hydrogen and iodine atoms to complete their outer energy levels.


How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of a oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as a part of a water molecule?

There are 6 electrons in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom. In a water molecule, oxygen shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form covalent bonds, achieving a full outer shell with 8 electrons (octet rule). Oxygen shares one electron with each hydrogen atom to complete its outer shell.


Which atom does not need 8 electrons in it outer energy level to be stable?

Hydrogen is an atom that does not need 8 electrons in its outer energy level to be stable. Hydrogen only needs 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.
