As an element of Alkali metals family, It will give away its electrons very easily to produce monovalent Fr+ ion
It gives away electrons.
francium it has loads more shells around it, making them easier to be displaced because the pull off the nucleus will be less as the magnetism between the electrons and necleus is sheilded better the more full shells there is between the nucleus and outer most shell
Sand tends to erode faster than clay because it has larger particles that are easily carried away by water or wind. Clay particles are smaller and more tightly packed together, making them more resistant to erosion.
Soils with a high sand content are generally more easily eroded than soils with a high clay content. This is because sands have larger particles that are more prone to being carried away by water or wind. Clay particles are smaller and more tightly packed, making them less susceptible to erosion.
Oh, dude, when elements react, they give away or take electrons to achieve a stable configuration. It's like a high-stakes game of electron trading - one element might be like, "Here, take my electron, I don't need it," while another is all, "Thanks, I'll add this to my collection." So yeah, electrons are the hot commodity in the world of chemical reactions.
When Fr is oxidised, it does so by donating electrons to the oxidant (eg. Oxygen, H+ )
because it has so many orbitals it has more electrons and it cannot hold onto its electrons as easily and they can easily be snatched away
Francium is located on the bottom left side of the periodic table of elements. Meaning it has the largest number of electron shells and lowest electron negativity. Thus having the biggest atomic size.
Francium is an alkaline metal, which means that its one electron is easily given away, making it highly reactive. Because the atom is so large, there is a shielding effect between the protons in the nucleus, and the valence electron. This blocks the attractive forces, and the other layers of electrons work to repel the valence electron, decreasing the ionization energy even further. The low ionization energy is what makes francium so reactive, that none of it can be isolated effectively.
what is to pack something tightly take away one letter from cream and as to be one word
Alkali metals have increasing reactivity going down the group. Francium may not be considered as it is not a stable atom: it is radioactive. The next four are Cesium, Rubidium, Potassium and Sodium in decreasing reactivity order.
Barium would lose an electron more readily, because its outer electrons are farther away from the nucleus than those in magnesium, and thus are not held as tightly. =] Hopefully this helps you out alot.
The electrons farthest away from the nucleus are the valence electrons of an atom.
It's important to note that plutonium and uranium (element names are not normally capitalized in the middle of a sentence) have isotopes which are stable enough that their reactivity is experimentally known, while the most stable isotope of francium has a half-life of about 20 minutes. Francium's reactivity is therefore partially a matter of conjecture... the energy given off by its radioactive decay would literally vaporize any reasonably sized piece. That said, as an alkali metal francium would be much more reactive than uranium or plutonium, both of which are transition metals.
Metals are typically the type of element that tends to give away electrons easily, conduct electricity well, and exhibit lustrous characteristics. Metals have mobile electrons that can move freely, allowing for electrical conduction, and their shiny appearance is due to their ability to reflect light.
Electrons flow easily through metals due to the presence of free electrons in the metal lattice. These free electrons are not bound to any particular atom and can move freely throughout the metal, allowing for efficient conduction of electricity.
Francium. It's outer shell is far enough away from the nucleus with its opposite, repelling positive charge which makes it difficult to exchange electrons. And its outer shell is incomplete.To put it another way, of all the atoms that are missing an electron from their outer energy level, Francium is the one that has the least influence from the nucleus because its outer energy shell is the furthest away from the centre, so it is happiest to receive electrons.
