How many electrons does sulfur have in its third electron shell?
Sulfur has six electrons in its third electron shell.
What is the name given to the electron shell that contains the most reactive electrons?
The outermost electron shell in an atom is called the valence shell. It contains the most reactive electrons because these electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
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.
How many electrons are in each shell of hydrogen?
1, because it has an atomic number of one, meaning it has 1 proton & 1 electron. It takes 2 electrons to fill the first electron shell, but hydrogen only has 1. So it remains at the 1st shell.
When one atom shares an electron with another atom to fill the outermost shell it forms an?
When one atom shares an electron with another atom to fill the outermost shell, it forms a covalent bond. This type of bond occurs when both atoms share the pair of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is another name for the rings around an atom?
The rings around an atom can also be called an Electron Shell.
What is another name for a electron energy level?
An electron energy level is also known as an electron shell. It represents the energy levels at which electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom.
What is an alternative name for energy level?
An alternative name for energy level is electron shell or electron orbital.
Where is a electron?
In atoms. More specifically, they orbit the nucleus of an atom, in the aptly name electron cloud. Or electron shell.
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
What is a valence electon?
an electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.
Why does a negative chlorine atom readily accept another electron?
A negative chlorine atom readily accepts another electron because it wants to achieve a full outer electron shell, which is more stable. By gaining one more electron, chlorine can achieve a full valence shell with eight electrons, following the octet rule.
How many electrons does sulfur have in its third electron shell?
Sulfur has six electrons in its third electron shell.
What is the name and location of the electron responsible for chemical behavior?
outer electron shell, as shown by the grouping on the periodic table.
Another name for the outer shell of an atom?
the valence shell
What is the name given to the electron shell that contains the most reactive electrons?
The outermost electron shell in an atom is called the valence shell. It contains the most reactive electrons because these electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
What happens if the outermost electron shell is empty?
the shell would never be empty, there would be another shell under it and it would have all of its valence electrons
