1 to 3.
Alkaline earth metals have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
non-metals have between 3 and 8 electrons in the outer shell. You can tell how many they have by looking at which period they're in on the periodic table, period 13 elements have 3, period 15 elements have 5 ect.
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.
Most metals and nonmetals form chemical bonds by transferring electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with a filled outer shell, usually with 8 electrons. This transfer of electrons leads to the formation of ionic bonds between metals and nonmetals.
Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer shell and bromine has seven in its outer shell.
Alkaline earth metals have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
Alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer shell.
non-metals have between 3 and 8 electrons in the outer shell. You can tell how many they have by looking at which period they're in on the periodic table, period 13 elements have 3, period 15 elements have 5 ect.
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.
metals generally acts as reductants because a relatively small amount of energy is needed to remove the small number of outer-shell electrons in metals.
Most metals and nonmetals form chemical bonds by transferring electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with a filled outer shell, usually with 8 electrons. This transfer of electrons leads to the formation of ionic bonds between metals and nonmetals.
Metals react with non-metals to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to fill their outer shell. This transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals results in the formation of ionic compounds.
Few, one to three.
No, atoms with more than four outer electrons are generally not classified as metals. Instead, they tend to be nonmetals or metalloids. Metals typically have fewer than four electrons in their outer shell and tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas nonmetals usually gain or share electrons. The classification of elements as metals or nonmetals is primarily based on their position in the periodic table.
The outermost most weakly bound electrons are those that form bonds. These are those generally in the outermost shell. However in say transition metals the electrons in the outer s orbital and the d orbital of the shell below are involved.
Thrse electrons are involved in chemical reactions.
poor metals have four, five, six..... electrons in its outermost shells these poor metals are also known as non-metals.
