There are 7 electrons in a chlorine atom's highest energy level, as is true for all elements in column 17 of a wide form Periodic Table, if the relatively slight differences between 3s and 3d electrons and between paired and unpaired 3d electrons are ignored. If these smaller differences are taken into account, there is only one electron on chlorine's last energy level: the only unpaired 3d electron.

How many electrons are in the second energy level of magnesium?

There are 8 electrons in the second energy level of magnesium. This can be determined because magnesium has an atomic number of 12, meaning it has 12 electrons in total. The first energy level is filled with 2 electrons, leaving 10 electrons to distribute in the remaining energy levels, with 8 of those in the second level.

Electron arrangement of chlorine?

Chlorines electron configuration can be described in a few different ways - it also depends on whether you are talking about chlorine gas or chlorine the atom. For the atom - chlorine has 17 electrons. Simply describes the electron arrange could be called 2, 8, 7 (where the number represents the # of electrons in each shell. From the more advanced atomic orbital theory - chlorines electron configuration could be notated as such: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 (where the last number in each is superscript). For chlorine gas, the electron configuration is described using molecular orbital theory (university level) as such: non-valence electrons are ignored - since they are too far separated to combine their wavefunctions meaningfully - so we only consider valence electrons (3rd shell ie 3s and 3p in this case) σ3s2 σ3s*2 σ3p2 π3p4 π3p*4


Valence electrons are those?

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are involved in chemical bonding and determining an element's reactivity.

What element is a noble gas in the first energy level?

There are no noble gases in the first energy level. Noble gases are found in the last (highest) energy level of an atom. The first energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the noble gases have completely filled outermost energy levels.


What are Lewis electrons?

valence electrons or electrons of the last level of electrons in an atom or the electrons in the last energy level of an atom, they have a negative chargethese electrons usually are the ones that take part in reacting, such as ionic bonding and covalent bonding :)


What is the number of the principal energy level in which of the valence electrons are found?

The principal energy level is represented by the main energy level number (n). The valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost energy level of an atom, which corresponds to the highest principal energy level (n).


How is the energy level of an elements valence electrons related to its period?

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 ect


Which electrons interact to form chemical bonds?

Valence electrons interact to form chemical bonds. These are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and they are involved in bonding with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What is the electrons in the outer most energy level of an atom called?

valence electrons.. every element wants to have 8 which is why there are ions and such.. elements which already have 8 to begin with are called noble gases and can be found on the last column on the periodic table :)
