How many electrons do alkali metal family have?
they all have a differnet number of electrons, but all have a charge of 1-
Are there the same number of electrons in the first four elements of the alkali family?
They all have a different electrons
What is the number of valence electrons for the elements in group 1?
Elements in group 1 (alkali metals) have 1 valence electron. This single electron is in the outermost energy level of the atom, making these elements very reactive and likely to lose this electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How is the number assigned to a family related to the electron configuration of each element in that family?
The elements on the periodic table are arranged in periods and groups. The periods run across the table horizontally from left to right, whilst the groups run vertically from top to bottom. Elements from the same group tend to have similar chemical properties since they have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. :) You can find which elements are in which groups and more about the groups themselves by looking at a periodic table for the numbers above the columns or searching Google for "group 1" for example.
What is the number of valance electrons in atoms from alkali metals?
they have one valence electron. this is why they are so highly reactive and cannot be found pure in nature.
How many electrons do group 1A elements have in their valence shell?
Group 1A elements, also known as alkali metals, have one electron in their valence shell. This single valence electron is responsible for their high reactivity and tendency to lose that electron to form positive ions. As you move down the group, the number of electron shells increases, but the number of valence electrons remains the same at one.
What are the elements with an oxidation number of 1?
Elements with an oxidation number of 1 include alkali metals such as lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), and cesium (Cs). These elements typically lose one electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
Why will an alkali metal often combine with a halogen nonmetal to form a compound?
Well, the "happy" number in chemistry is eight. And alkali metals have one valence electron while halogens have seven so when they combine, the combination has eight valence electrons. This means it is full.
What patterns are noted in the electron structures of elements found in a periodic and in a family in the periodic table?
In a period, the number of electron shells increases from left to right across the period, resulting in an increase in energy levels and electron shells. In a family (or group), elements have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell, leading to similar chemical properties. Additionally, elements within the same family tend to have similar valence electron configurations.
Why do all elements in group 1 react in similar way?
All elements in the same group (or column) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons and it is the number of valence electrons that determine the reactivity of most elements.See the Related Questions to the left for more information.
Elements that are arranged in the same column on the periodic table belong to the same family of elements. The atoms of elements in the same family all have the same number of valence in their outer s?
Elements arranged in the same column of the periodic table, known as groups or families, share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell. This similarity in valence electron configuration leads to comparable reactivity and bonding characteristics among these elements. For example, alkali metals in Group 1 all have one valence electron, making them highly reactive. Understanding these relationships helps predict how different elements will interact chemically.
