What atoms need only 2 valence electrons to have a filled out level?

Helium.


Helium atoms only need how many valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level?

Helium atoms only need 2 valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level because helium is in the first period of the periodic table and its outermost energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.


How many valence electrons does heluim need to have a filled outermost energy level?

Helium only needs two electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.


Electrons that exist in an atoms highest occupied energy level are known as?

valence electrons


The electrons that occupy the outermost filled shell are called?

Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.


Why do valence electrons determine the reactivity of an atom?

The valence electrons are the outermost electrons. In an atom, its lower energy levels have been filled and are therefore stable. But, except for the noble gases, the valence energy level is not filled, and therefore not stable. So atoms must undergo chemical reactions in order to fill their valence shells and become stable. They can do this by sharing electrons, transferring electrons, or by forming a sea of electrons shared by all the atoms.


Which electrons in an atom have the highest energy level?

Electrons in the outermost energy level (valence electrons) have the highest energy level. These electrons are involved in the atom's chemical reactions and bonding with other atoms.


Valence electrons in a sentence?

valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost energy level of bohr diagram for an element.


How does an atom keep its charge?

An atom's charge changes when it gains or loses electrons. Atoms naturally tend to lose or gain electrons to level out at eight valence electrons (valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy level), so the only atoms that keep their charge are ions with eight valence electrons or the Noble Gases, atoms on the far right of the periodic table that have eigth valence electrons and a nuetral charge.


What type of electron is available to form bonds?

Valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, are available to form bonds with other atoms. These electrons are involved in the formation of chemical bonds.


How do atoms get stable outer energy level?

They share their valence electrons


What two atoms will have their outer energy level filled with two electrons?

Helium and neon will have their outer energy level filled with two electrons. Helium has 2 electrons in its only energy level, while neon has 8 electrons in its second energy level.
