Oxygen has 8 electrons in total. The distribution of these electrons in shells KLMN is as follows: K shell has 2 electrons, L shell has 6 electrons, M shell has 0 electrons, and N shell has 0 electrons.
In order to fill their outer most shells and become more stable atoms form BONDS.
Elements with a full outer electron shells are usually found in group 18/8 on the periodic table, also known as 'Noble Gases'. But during a chemical reaction the element may gain or lose electrons in order to become stable. These atoms are called 'Ions'
Atoms with a full set of electrons in their outermost energy level are generally the noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon. These atoms have stable electronic configurations that make them less likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms.
Noble gases dont form bonds because their valencr shells are full.
Oxygen has 8 electrons in total. The distribution of these electrons in shells KLMN is as follows: K shell has 2 electrons, L shell has 6 electrons, M shell has 0 electrons, and N shell has 0 electrons.
KLMN ended in 2009.
KLMN was created on 2003-06-11.
It is a statement that may or may not be true - depending on what klmn is (or oare)..
A Beach Full of Shells was created in 2005.
Because their electron shells are full of the requisite number of electrons.
s = ? , p=? , d=?, f=?
It must be a rhombus
they already have full shells so they dont tend to form compounds
The answer is it must be a rhombus
The noble gases are unreactive because their valence shells are full, making them stable.
the electronic structure of silicon is [Ne] 3s2 3p2 in short form. In full it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 so there are 5 orbitals with electrons in.In the electron shell school system, you would say there are 3 electron "shells" in use, as it has a full 2/2, a full 8/8 and 4/8 of the 3rd "shell".
