What is the valence electrons in hydrogen?

there is one valence electron in hydrogen, and it needs one more electron to become stable


How many electrons that a hydrogen atom shares?

Hydrogen atoms have one valence electron which is also the only electron they have.


How many valance electrons does hydrogen have?

Hydrogen has only one electron. Just the one. And it is a valence electron.


The chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell 8 electrons will make it stable what does it need to become stable?

The rule of 8. Once an element contains 8 electrons (except helium and hydrogen [i think cause no way 8 electrons could be in it]) , it is stable. It can receive these by loosing or gaining an electron or electrons, depending on its original electron number. meaning: needs 1 electron. (8-7=1) therefore.. look where chlorine is on the periodic table. 7th group. it needs to gain an electron (making it negative [weird i know but when it gains an electron, it becomes negative, same for losing electrons except makes it positive]) while something in the 1st group needs 7 electrons or just lose one electron to make it stable. when you take hydrogen and chlorine, you get rid of the extra electron in hydrogen and place it in the chlorine, which makes both stable (well maybe not hydrogen because if you remove an electron, there would be none left but hydrogen is easier to talk about)


What is the electron configuration of hydrogen?

For hydrogen atoms, it is 1s1. For hydrogen positive ions (protons), it is 1s0. For hydride ions, it is 1s2 or [He]-.

Why does an oxegyn atom bond with two hydrogen atoms very easily?

oxygen has 6 valence elctrons and needs two more to complete its electron shell and hydrogen is just what it needs hydrogen has one electron which makes a complete electron shell for oxygen.

How many additional electrons does a hydrogen atom need to complete its outermost energy levels?

Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to complete its outer shell. the configuration of Hydrogen is 1s1 this indicates that it has only 1 electron in the shell S.and to complete the S shell H needs only one electron as the capacity of the S is 2.


How many electrons are needed to complete outer shell of hydrogen?

Hydrogen is group 1 family, which is Alkali metals. Therefore, Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outermost shell. This means, it will perform +1 ion when they react. === ===


Why doesn't a hydrogen form more then one covalent bond?

Because it needs only 1 electron to complete it's outer electron shell.


How does hydrogen show a reaction?

If you take Hydrogen in terms of energy levels it has 1 electron orbiting its nucleus. It only needs 1 more electron in its outer shell to become "stable" Therfore it is reactive and will react with other atoms to gain 1 electron.


What are the Electron Configuration of hydrogen?

Hydrogen electron configuration will be 1s1.


How many bonds does hydrogen need?

Hydrogen "needs" an extra electron to achieve the noble gas configuration of helium. It therefore only "needs" one bond. It can do this either by shsring electrons in a covalent bond, or with very electropositive metals such as Lithium it forms a bond that is virtually ionic, with most electron density on the hydrogen.


How many electrons are needed in hydrogen helium carbon and oxygen to fill their respective valence shells?

Hydrogen has one electron and needs one more. Helium has two electrons and has filled shell. Carbon needs four more electrons to fill the valence shell Oxygen needs two more electrons to fill the valence shell


How many electrons does hydrogen have to fill its outer shell?

Hydrogen has one electron. Its outer shell the first energy level has just one orbital, 1s which could hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so hydrogen only partially fills the level.


What is the difference between hydrogen and an electron?

Hydrogen is an element, the electron is a subatomic particle.


What has one electron?
