Chemical elements in the periodic table are placed in 18 groups (columns); the number of electrons in this level is 1 to 8.
Neutral atoms with s or p electron configurations in the highest energy level are classified as main group elements or representative elements. These elements typically exhibit a wide range of chemical properties due to their varying numbers of valence electrons.
The elements with atomic numbers 58-71 are called lanthanides, and those with atomic numbers 90-103 are called actinides. These elements are part of the inner transition metals and have unique properties due to their electron configurations.
The electron configuration of a neutral copper atom is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s1. Copper is an exception to the normal electron configuration pattern because it contributes one electron from the 4s orbital to have a full 3d orbital.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is equal to zero. This is because in a neutral compound, the total positive oxidation numbers are balanced by the total negative oxidation numbers to give a net charge of zero.
The oxidation numbers in a neutral compound must equal zero. This is because the overall charge of a neutral compound is zero, so the sum of the oxidation numbers must balance out to zero.

Yes, helium, xenon, and neon all have stable electron configurations. Helium has a full outer electron shell with 2 electrons, xenon has a full outer shell with 8 electrons, and neon has a full outer shell with 8 electrons as well.
it is neutral because there are the same numbers of protons and electrons in an atom so the positive charge of the proton balances out the negative charge of an electron
It's a table listing the elements, organized in columns of similar types of elements with respect to their chemical bonding characteristics, based on their atomic numbers and electron configurations.
Yes, properties within a group are more alike than properties within a period. This is because elements in the same group have similar outer electron configurations, which leads to similar chemical behaviors. In contrast, elements in a period have increasing atomic numbers and varying electron configurations, leading to more differences in properties.
Well, since the question stresses the word "neutral" it's safe to assume that the answer they're looking for is "equal numbers of protons and electrons"; or further, "14 protons and 14 electrons".An atom is neutral when the number of electrons balances the number of protons. Because the positive charge of a proton cancels out the negative charge of an electron, equal numbers cause the particle to have no net charge - neutral.

Yes. It has both.The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.
The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers, which means each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. The Aufbau principle dictates that electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest, creating a systematic order for filling electron configurations. Hund's rule states that electrons will occupy degenerate orbitals singly and with parallel spins before pairing up, ensuring maximum stability. Together, these principles guide the construction of electron configurations and orbital diagrams, ensuring an accurate representation of electron distribution in an atom.
That depends what you mean by "neutral".
