What is A type of element that has many valence electrons but is not a conductor?

A type of element that fits this description is a noble gas. Noble gases have a full valence shell of electrons, making them stable and unreactive. While they have many valence electrons, they are not conductors of electricity because they do not readily lose or gain electrons.


What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.


How does an elements position on the periodic table determine the type of reaction it will be involved in?

An element's position on the periodic table determines its reactivity and the type of reactions it will undergo. Elements at the far left (Group 1) tend to lose electrons and form positive ions, while elements at the far right (Group 7) tend to gain electrons and form negative ions. Elements in the middle transition metals can have varying oxidation states and participate in redox reactions. The number of valence electrons an element has influences its chemical behavior and the type of compounds it can form.


What does the reduction potential chart tell you about the two elements?

Type your answer here... Which is more likely to be reduced


If an element gains electrons what type of oxidation number does it have and how do you know?

If an element gains electrons, it has a negative oxidation number. The oxidation number is determined based on the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom in a compound. The rule is that in ionic compounds, the oxidation number of an element is equal to the charge it would have if it were an ion.

Anion.


What type of properties do valence elcectrons determine for an element?

Valence electrons determine the reactivity of the element.


Which type of elements are involved in ionic bonding?

Ionic bonding involves elements that have large differences in electronegativity. Typically, one element will have a low electronegativity (metals) and will lose electrons, while the other element will have a high electronegativity (nonmetals) and will gain electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration.


What is a charged atom of an element?

An atom of an element means a single unit of the element. An atom is the base unit for any element. There can only be one type of atom in every element.For instance, a gold coin is made up of many, many gold atoms. "Gold" (Au) would be the element, while the "atom(s)" is the unit of the element.
