What else can I help you with?
Which element most readily accepts electrons?
Fluorine is the element that most readily accepts electrons because it has a high electronegativity value, meaning it has a strong attraction for electrons. It only needs one more electron to complete its outer electron shell.
How many protons electrons and neutrons in the element kalsium?
1) it's spelt Calcium and 2) 20 protons, 20 electrons, 20 neutrons
What determines the most likely oxidation state of an element?
the number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence shell
What is in an atom of sulfur?
Sulfur is an element. An atom is the smallest division of an element that remains the same element--any further division of the element divides it into its atomic particles. The most common isotope of a sulphur atom has 16 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.
How many electrons are in orbitals related to the 3rd energy level of a sulfur atom?
The sulfur atom has 16 electrons around its orbitals. The third energy level is the most tightly bound to the nucleus.
Which element will hold its electrons most tightly F Au Rb or N?
F (fluorine) is the most strongly electronegative element.
How many electrons are in its outermost shell?
It depends on the element in question. The outer most shell of electrons will hold the remainder of the electrons after all inward shells are filled. The first shell will only hold up to 2 electrons. After each shell holds up to 8 electrons (if the atomic number is <20).
What is the number of valence electrons (number in the outer most energy level)?
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
Are the valence electrons held most tightly by the atom?
Valence electrons are the electrons least tightly held by the atom and by definition are the electrons in the outermost shell of the electron and are highest in energy. They are the electrons that often contribute to an elements reactivity and in the case of Sodium, which as one valence electron in its ground state, it "gives up" its electron when it comes in contact with water.
Electrons that are held most loosely in an atom are called what?
The electrons in the valence band, this can be 1 to 8 electrons (in the s and p orbitals of the outer shell) depending on the element.
What part of an atom is involved the most in bonding?
Electrons are the most important element in atom bonding. Each element has an atomic number based on the number of electrons, and it is the was these different numbers of electrons link up to each other that determines how closely they will bond.
Is boron protons electrons or neutrons?
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
In most elements the valence shell holds a maximum of how many electrons?
In most elements, the valence shell holds a maximum of 8 electrons. This is known as the octet rule, where atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons, making them more stable.
Does all gold in nature have electrons?
Gold has lots of electrons. All elements have electrons, but gold, a heavy element, has more than most.
An element such as Magnesium Mg with two outer electrons would have a charge of?
Any atom of any element has no net electrical charge. The number of "outer" electrons is irrelevant, because the charge of all the electrons is balanced by an equal number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. However, the number of outer electrons is highly relevant to the charge of the most likely ion formed from an atom of an element by chemical reaction: Magnesium and other atoms with two outer electrons almost always form cations with 2 net positive charges when the atoms react chemically with some atom of another element, because these two outer electrons are less tightly bound to the atomic nucleus than any other electrons of the atom.
What specifies the properties of electrons?
The number most usually associated with electrons is minus one, which describes their electrical charge.
What element on the periodic table attracts electrons the most?
Halogens (Fluorine the most, followed by chlorine).
