What is the name of the collection of elements on the right side of the periodic table with electrons sequentially filling orbitals in their valence?
What is the name of the collection of elements on the right side of the periodic table with electrons sequentially filling orbitals in their valence?
How many valence electrons does boron family have?
The elements in the boron family are in group 13. Therefore, their outermost shells are filled up to their s2 p1 orbitals. That means that the boron family of elements all have 3 valence electrons.
What atoms cannot accommodate more than an octet of electrons?
Oxygen, because it only has four orbitals in its valence shell to accomodate extra electrons.
Which elements contain four valence electrons?
the group 4A elements
What do yo notice about the location of the elements in each family?
well its takes for ever to figure out

What is the name of the collection of elements on the right side of the periodic table with electrons sequentially filling orbitals in their valence?
What term describes elements that contain the saem number of valence electrons?
what term describes elements that contain the same number of valence electrons
IN a xenon atom which atomic orbitals contain the valence electrons?
5p, 5s
How many valence orbitals contain electrons in a neutral Si atom?
3
Elements across a series have the same number of?
They don't have the same number. that's what makes thme all different
What elements contain four valence electrons?
carbon
How many valence electrons does the sulfur atom contain?
Group 16 (VIB or VIA) elements have six valence electrons.
What term describes elements that contain the number of valence electrons?
group
How do you find the valence of an element?
elements, or atoms, do not have valence numbers, they have valence orbitals (the outermost one) or valence electrons (all the electrons in the outermost orbital). you can look this up anywhere that shows the electron configuration, like your periodic table.
How many valence electrons does boron family have?
The elements in the boron family are in group 13. Therefore, their outermost shells are filled up to their s2 p1 orbitals. That means that the boron family of elements all have 3 valence electrons.
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
What term described elements that contain the same number of valence electrons?
group
