Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Non-examples of valence electrons would be the electrons found in inner shells or energy levels of an atom. We're talking about the ones that are cozy and snuggled up close to the nucleus, not the rebellious ones hanging out on the outermost shell causing all the chemical reactions. So, in simpler terms, think of valence electrons as the party animals of the atom, not the wallflowers.

Describe how ionic bonding works?

Ionic bonding is an intermolecular attraction force within the structure, it is the resultant force when a metal and non-metal element comes together to share their electron. What happens is that Metals are eager to give away their valance electron in order to stabile itself. All metals have the tendency to give away their valance electrons to a non-metal element, A metal has between 1 to 4 electrons in their valance shell, which makes them quiet reactive and unstable, so they tend to give them away. Non-metals have between 5 to 7 electrons in their valance shell so they are eager to adopt free electron from a metal element to complete its outer shell. Ionic bonds are polar, meaning they are multi charged compounds, they are soluble in water


What prefers to receive electrons in chemical reactions?

The element that prefers to receive electrons in chemical reactions is typically found on the right side of the periodic table, such as the halogens (e.g. chlorine, fluorine) or elements in group 17. These elements have a high electronegativity and tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


The atoms of which elements tend to gain electrons?

Non-ionized (stable) nonmetals, or metal ions.


Do all carbon atoms have exactly 6 atoms?

Yes, all carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nucleus, which defines them as carbon. However, carbon atoms can have different numbers of neutrons which create isotopes of carbon with varying atomic masses.


What are non examples of cations?

From the second row of the periodic table alone, there are Li+1 and Be+2. All the remaining members of periodic columns 1 and 2 form corresponding cations. The most common polyatomic cation is NH4+1.

What supscripts would be used if an alkaline earth metal and a non metal from group 6a?

None. The alkaline earth metals have a valance of 2 and the 6A nonmetals have a valance of 6. So the alkaline earth's donate two electrons and the 6A's accept 2 electrons. MgO CaS by example


How many electrons are shown in the electron-dot structure of iodine?

Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.

What is the formula for manganese(2) bromide?

Manganese has two electrons in its valance shell, Mn is a metal so it has a tendency to give away electron (2 of them, so the charge is -2) while Bromide is a non-metal and it adopts electrons to complete its valance shell and has a positive two charge. so the Mn gives away 2 electrons and Br gains 2 electrons so the overall charge of the compound is zer0. MnBr.


What is ionic bonding structure?

Ionic bond is when a non-metal takes the metals valance electrons so both atoms can be balanced. Take NaCl for example. Na has one valance electron and Cl only needs one to get eight. So Cl takes Na's one valance electron...:Cl: Na. See the empty spot for Cl, that where Na's valance electron will go.'


Why do you think non metals tend to be good at sharing electrons?

All atoms are more stable when their outer most electron shell (valance shell also refered to as a valance orbital but it is slightly different) is full of electrons. Non metals generally have almost full valance shells and it takes less energy to gain a few electrons to reach the stable full outer shell than to lose many electrons to form a stable full outer shell. Take F as an example - it has 7 electrosn in its outermost shell and this shell can fit 8. It will accept 1 electron more easily than losing 7.
