What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
How many electrons on their outer shell does bromine have?
Seven , outer shell electrons or valence electrons increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table not including the transition metals which vary, they start with 1 valence in the alkali earth metals , and finish with 8 valence electrons on the noble gasses (group 18)
How many electrons does vandidum have on its outer shell?
Vanadium has on the outer shell two electrons.
Does argon has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of cobalt?
There is one electron on cobalts outer shell.
How many electrons do alkaline earth metals have in their outer shell?
Alkaline earth metals have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
How many electrons will metals generally have in their outer shell?
Metals generally have 1 to 3 electrons in their outer shell. These outer shell electrons are loosely held and can be easily lost, which is why metals tend to form positive ions in chemical reactions.
How many electrons are in the outer energy level of the atoms of alkali earth metals?
Alkali earth metals have 2 electrons in their outer energy level. This outer level is known as the valence shell, and having 2 electrons makes these metals highly reactive and likely to form ionic bonds to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
Most metals and nonmetals bond together to get eight electrons in their outer occupied shell?
Most metals and nonmetals form chemical bonds by transferring electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with a filled outer shell, usually with 8 electrons. This transfer of electrons leads to the formation of ionic bonds between metals and nonmetals.
Explain why metals react with non-metals.?
Metals react with non-metals to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to fill their outer shell. This transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals results in the formation of ionic compounds.
How many electrons do metals normally have in their outer shell?
Few, one to three.
Explain how the properties of outer shell electrons affect metals?
Thrse electrons are involved in chemical reactions.
How many electrons do poor metals have in there outer shell?
poor metals have four, five, six..... electrons in its outermost shells these poor metals are also known as non-metals.
How many electrons does does nitrogen and bromine have in the outer shell?
Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer shell and bromine has seven in its outer shell.
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
Do non-metals form a stable outer electron configuration by losing electrons and becoming anions?
NO. Nonmetals tend to GAIN electrons to complete their outer shell. By gaining electrons, they become a negatively charged species, which is what an anion is. Metals tend to LOSE electrons to end up with a full outer shell; in losing electrons, they develop a positive charge (become cations).
What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
