If an element is characterized as minus one this means that it has more than one electron in its outer orbit. Is this true or false?

probably false, because MINUS one. It might have one less in it's outer shell

What element has 2 electron shells and 4 valence electrons?
Two electrons imply that the element is in the second period. The 4 valence electrons says that it is located in group 4A (or group 14 in modern notation). Hence, this element is carbon.The element has 2 electron shells means the element is in the 2nd group. This element is carbon. It has 4 valence electrons.
What does it mean if an element has high electronegativity?
Electronegetivity can be defined as the power or tendency of an atom to attract electron to itself. So when we say that an element has a high electronegetivity we just means that the element can fastly or rapidly attract electron to itself.....
What is the relationship between an element's number of valence electrons and its reactivity?
When we say valence electron we mean the number of electron left it the outermost shell of element, valence electron can be positive of negetive. If an element need much electrons to be octet, that means that the element is not reactive than the one who will give out electrons, the the one who can give electrons much are less reactive than the one who can give a litle and the reaction will be normal as it is soppused to be, Eg lithium and berylium. Lithium is more reactive than berylium because lithuin has 1valence electron while berylium has 2....reactivity goes with the action of valence electron in an element
The element in period 3 that has the highest ionization energy is?
Argon (#18). It's a noble gas, which means it doesn't react, which means it will be really hard to get it to lose an electron.
What is the value of H in chemistry?
'H' means Hydrogen.Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron but no neurons.It is both an electropositive and electronegative element.

What does the hydrogen element not have?
hydrogen has only one proton and one electron. it is the lightest element and is a pure element, which means hydrogen is made of one type of atom (in this case hydrogen atoms)
Which element has an atomic number 1?
The element with the atomic number 1 is Hydrogen (H). This means that the hydrogen atom generally has 1 electron and 1 proton.
What occurs to reducing agent in a reduction reaction?
An element is REDUCED. By that, it means that an element of a compound or an element in itself has gained electron/s when the reaction occurs. You can find this out when you see a change in their oxidation number.

How is the number of electrons is a neutral atom of a given element related to the atomic number of that element?
The atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element. The proton count is the same as the electron count as all elements have a charge of zero giving them the same. Simplified: the atomic number shows you how many electrons and protons are in the element. If it is a compound and it has a charge of +1 that means the element has lost one electron and has a positive charge. If it gained a electron it would be -1 as electrons are negatively charged.

What is the shorthand electron configuration of Boron?
2.3!<-----wrong shorthand electron configuration for Boron (B on the periodic table) is [He] 2s2 2p1 because Shorthand means building on the last noble gas element. So put the closest Noble gas element before this one and then the new addition.
What is significant about hydrogen?
It is the simplest element, having one electron and one proton and was made in the big bang which means it is by far the mist abundant element in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of the Universe's baryonic mass.
