no. electron shells are just what contain the electrons. the inner most shell contains 2, then 8 and so on.
Elements in the same period share the same number of electron shells. This means they have similar atomic sizes and properties because they have the same number of electron shells determining their size and behavior.
electron shells
The rows going across the periodic table are known as periods and contain elements with the same number of electron shells.
Atoms whose symbols appear on a single row of a periodic table have the same number of electron shells. (Atoms with different numbers of protons represent different elements.)
An electron pair are two electrons which occupy the same orbital in an atom or molecule. Paired electrons are represented by two dots.
Elements in the same row, or period, of the periodic table fill up the same energy level as you move from left to right. This is because elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
Both oxygen and sulfur have the same number of electron shells, which is two.
Elements in the same period share the same number of electron shells. This means they have similar atomic sizes and properties because they have the same number of electron shells determining their size and behavior.
They have the same number of electron shells.
Yes
No. All the alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons, meaning they have two electrons in the outermost shells. No two alkaline earth metals have the same number of electron shells. Beryllium is the only one with two shells.
Electron shielding is not a factor across a period because they all have the same number of electron shells! No further (extra) shells means that they are all affected by electron shielding equally.
As you move across a period, elements have the same number of electron shells but different numbers of valence electrons. This leads to differences in reactivity and chemical properties across the period.
Yes sulfur does have more electron shells than oxygen.
electron shells
Lithium ion (Li+) and beryllium ion (Be2+) have the same electron configuration as helium because they both have filled electron shells.
The rows going across the periodic table are known as periods and contain elements with the same number of electron shells.
