No. That is characteristic of a nonmetal, specifically the halogens (group 17) on the Periodic Table.

A chloride ion (Cl⁻) has gained one electron compared to a neutral chlorine atom, which originally has seven valence electrons in its outermost energy level. Therefore, as a chloride ion, it has eight electrons in its outermost energy level. This configuration is stable and corresponds to the noble gas configuration of argon.
Bromine has four valence shell electrons. It is located in Group 17 of the periodic table, which means it has seven electrons in its outermost shell (the fourth energy level). Therefore, Bromine has four energy levels, with the outermost shell containing the valence electrons necessary for chemical bonding.
The ground state electron configuration for bromine (Br), which has an atomic number of 35, is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵. This configuration indicates that bromine has a total of 35 electrons distributed among its energy levels, with the outermost shell containing seven electrons, characteristic of its reactivity as a halogen.
The chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost electron shell. This makes it easier for chlorine to gain one electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, forming a chloride ion.
No. That is characteristic of a nonmetal, specifically the halogens (group 17) on the periodic table.
Halogens have six valence electrons in the outermost energy level.
No. That is characteristic of a nonmetal, specifically the halogens (group 17) on the periodic table.
Seven
The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.
There is no Iodone atom, there is however an Iodine atom that has seven valence electrons or seven electrons in outermost shell.
There are 7 outer orbital electrons in an atom of chlorine, as it has 7 electrons in its outermost energy level.
All halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine) have 7 valence electrons.
They have seven electrons in their outer shell they are in group seven on the periodic table.
A distinguishing characteristic of a halogen is that it has seven valence electrons in its outermost energy level, making it highly reactive. Halogens tend to form salts with metals by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell.
No, hydrogen (H) has one electron in its outermost level.
Halogens are all non-metals, they are all very reactive, and they are all colorful.
