If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
Neon is an inert element.why?
The electron shell is full.
Why is the the electron arrangement argon nonreactive?
Its valence shell is full.
How many valence electron's is in xenon?
Eight: the valency shell is full.
Chemically inert atoms always have their outermost electron shell full?
True!

Is the outer shell of nickel full?
no its outside shell has 10/18 electrons
Does lithium have a full outer shell?
no it only has 1 electron in the outer shell
Neon is an inert element.why?
The electron shell is full.
An electron configuration that is not chemically reactive?
Where there are 8 electrons in the outer shell so a full shell. Elements are reactive when they need to lose or gain an electron. The noble gases are unreactive as they have a full outer shell.
Why is the the electron arrangement argon nonreactive?
Its valence shell is full.
When a valance shell has 7 electrons will it gain or lose an electron?
It will gain an electron so that it can complete a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
How can you get an ion of bromine?
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell and needs to gain one electron to have a full outer shell and become an ion. It will gain this electron from an atom that has one electron in its outer shell such as Lithium or Sodium.
How many valence electron's is in xenon?
Eight: the valency shell is full.
Why florin is most electronegative?
It has a relatively high positive charge on its nucleus, a small atomic radius, only one electron shell between its nucleus and its outer electron shell, and is one electron short of a full outer shell.
Does nuclear fission require a full electron shell?
No. Nuclear fission is a process that involves the nucleus, not electron shells.
What is an electron Shel?
An electron shell is the outermost shell in an atom. This is where you'll find bounding power in the atom. Atoms in the last column of the periodic table have the full outer most shell and are most stable.
