How many electrons would you expect chlorine with an atomic number of 17 to have in its outer shell?
Chlorine has 17 electrons, distributed in the following way: 2 in first shell 8 in second shell 7 in third (outer) shell Therefore Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
The electron configuration for an element in the halogen group should always end with what?
The simply answer is that in the outer shell each of the halogens have only seven electrons, this is the reason why they are the most reactive nonmetals, they wish to require a further electron to become stable. Fluorine (F) Atomic number 9 [He] 2s22p5 note the second shell is the outer shell and has only 7 electrons, to be stable it has to have eight. Chlorine (Cl) Atomic number 17 [Ne] 3s23p5 note this its the third shell which is the outer shell and has only 7 electrons, to be stable it has to have eight. For Bromine (Br) we find its the fourth shell is the outer shell which has seven elections, and finally Iodine (I) we find its the fifth shell which is the outer shell and it has only 7 electrons, to be stable it has to have eight. Hope this helps
What do you call a hard outer skeletal shell?

How can you represent atoms?
First you start of by finding out what the atomic number is of the element, in this case the number is 17. You then draw a circle, you are aloud to put 2 electrons on this circle. you then draw another cirlce around it, you are aloud to have 8 electrons on the outer shells. you will ned a third circle to put the rest of the elcetrons on to it. in total you should have the smallest circle with 2 electrons, the middle circle with 8 and then the outer shell with 7 elecrons on it. you can draw the electrons as dots or crosses on the cirlce line. because the outer shell is not full and only has 7 electrons instead of 8, this means it will be reactive. if an element has a full outer shell then it becomes unreactive. hope that helped. :)
How does the tough outer shell of a coconut protect the seed as it travels?
The tought outer outer shell protects the seed by not making i t able to crack. haha. CRACK! BUTT CRACK! ..thats FUNNY! :DD ! ~T.A.C South Carolina! 2-3-11
How many are in the outer shell of the yellow group?
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
When an electron moves from the outer shell of one element to the outer shell of another element what kind of bond has been created?
This is an ionic bond.
If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
What element has 6 outer shell electrons?
The element with 6 outer shell electrons is carbon. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell and 2 electrons in the shell before that, totaling 6 outer shell electrons.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of copper?
The outer shell (N=4) of the copper element has 2 electrons.
What are the Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell Every element in group two has two electrons in its outer shell?
Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
How many electrons does the element B have in its outer shell?
Boron has 3 electrons in the outer shell and 2 electrons in the inner.
What makes an element stable?
an element is stable when it has a full outer shell of electrons. to abide by the octet rule it must have a shell of 2 then 8 electrons. An element with a full outer shell (8) will be stable and act like its nearest noble gas.
What element has six electrons in the outer shell?
Elements in group VIA (6A) also called group 16.
What element is a noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell?
Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet. Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet.
What element is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell?
Helium is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell. It has only two electrons in its outer shell.
When an atom forms an ion describe the outer shell of the ion?
When an atom forms an ion, the outer shell of the ion will have gained or lost electrons to achieve a full valence shell. For cations (positive ions), the outer shell will have fewer electrons than the neutral atom. For anions (negative ions), the outer shell will have more electrons than the neutral atom.
