Which element most readily accepts electrons?
Fluorine
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.
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 particles make up elements and compounds?
Atoms are the most basic form of an element. They cannot be broken down further and still be that element.
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.
Which element will hold its electrons most tightly F Au Rb or N?
F (fluorine) is the most strongly electronegative element.
Which element consists of atoms that's most strongly attract electrons of other atoms?
The element that attracts electrons the most would be Fluorine
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
Choose the element that will most easily lose an electron?
Alkaline Earths will most easily lose an electron. This is because the have a smaller alkali radii than alkali metals causing them to not be as tightly bound to the nucleus. This makes the more readily lose their electrons.
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.
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 is the number of the prinicpal energy level in which valence electrons are found?
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
Which element most readily accepts electrons?
Fluorine
Pick the statement that is most likely to be true of an element with LOW electronegativity?
The valence electrons of the element are very shielded. The valence electrons are far from the nucleus.
What element has the most protons of any element than any element in group 15?
Uup, or ununpentium with 115 electrons
The valence electrons are those electrons most tightly held by the atom?
Atoms with 8 valence electrons are highly stable and almost non-reactive. There electronic configuration is stable. In the normal state, only noble gases have this electronic configuration except Helium which has only 2 electrons.
