What is the valence shell for chlorine?

There are 7 electrons on the valence shell. Chlorine requires one electron to make it complete and the ion would therefore be Cl- (one minus charge)


In order to fill its outer shell how many bonds will carbon make?

4 electrons are required to fill the outer shell of a carbon atom. This, the second shell of carbon, can contain two 2s electrons and six 2p electrons, but in a neutral carbon atom it actually contains only two 2s electrons and two 2p electrons. Therefore, four more electrons are required to fill the outer shell.


How many electrons would be required to make an oxygen atom stable?

An oxygen atom requires 8 electrons to become stable because it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more to complete it. This is achieved by forming chemical bonds with other atoms, such as sharing electrons in covalent bonds.


What is a Bohr diagram for stable ion?

Basically a Bohr Diagram of Stable Ion is a ion that makes the drawing stable, for example if you appear to have 2 electrons on the first shell, 8 on the second, and 1 on the last valence shell, you need to make it equal. Another example might be for example Sodiam (Na), 2 on the first shell, 8 on the second, and on the last shell, so one valence shell, you need to take out the 1 which then it becomes Na+1 which means you loose an electron. I HOPE this helped


How with 5 valence electrons will achieve a full set of valence electrons?

If you're asking how will an atom with 5 valence electrons will achieve a full set of valence electrons, then the answer would be that they bond with other atoms to gain a full set of the valence electrons by sharing or gaining 3 electrons.

What terms is used to the electrons in outermost shell or energy level?

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the electrons available for bonding and generally determine the number of bonds an atom can make

What is ionic bond and covalent different?

ionic bonds are when the most electronegative atom (or compound) steals an electron to complete their valence shell (this will also remove all the electrons in the less electronegative atom in its valence shell. Once this is done, the valence shell becomes the complete shell 1 energy level below. Covalent is when they share the electrons to complete their valence shells together.A covalent bond is when two molecules share electrons on their outer ring to make both stable. An ionic bond is when a electron jumps from one molecule to another, because one only has one and another needs one.


Why are only valence electrons represented in Lewis structure?

Because they are the only ones involved in bonding. For example, when an forming an ionic compound one atom loses its valence electrons and one gains electrons to make its valence electron shell complete.

How many electrons complete a full outer valence shell for sodium?

Atomic number of sodium is 11. So 11 electrons are there. First K shell could accomodate only 2. Now next L would have place for 8. So totally 10 electrons are firmy placed in the first two shells. Now remaining 1 electron would be in the third orbit M, that too in the s orbital. So sodium has 1 as valency. If suppose 8 electrons were there in the M shell, then s orbital 2, p orbital 6. But d orbital would be filled only after 4s orbital is filled with two electrons. So 8 electrons in s and p would make it less chemically reactive.

Why is the number of electrons in the final shell important?

The number of electrons in the final shell is important because it determines the number of bonds an atom can form with other atoms. Example: If there are 8 electrons in the final shell then that means the shell is not able to contain any more electrons and the atom will not be able to make bonds (He). However, if there are 7 electrons in the final shell then the shell has room for one more electron, and will be able to form one bond (F).


What element has two electrons in the first shell electrons in the second shell and six electrons in the third shell?

Sulphur (Sulfur in the US) Location of electrons is not important to determine which element it is. 16 electorns means that it would have 16 protons in it's nucleus, so 16 is atomic number of the element. It would have 16 neutrons in it's nucleus too (it is usually one neutron for each proton), which make atomic weight of this element equal to 32.
