This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
What else can I help you with?
What is the octet electrons?
An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.
What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
What does it mean if an elements has 8 valence electrons?
it has a full octet
How many valence elec does rn have?
Radon, being a noble gas, has 8 valence electrons, giving it a stable octet.
Law of octet?
The chemical elements tend to have 8 electrons in the valence shell.
Which families contains a full octet of valence electrons?
These are the noble gases.
How many Valence electrons in a stable octet?
8 valence electrons
Can carbon expand its octet beyond four valence electrons?
No, carbon cannot expand its octet beyond four valence electrons.
Why would a hydrogen attach to chlorine?
Hydrogen has one valence electron. To form a compound, it must follow the octet rule, which states that the total outermost orbital (valence) contains eight electrons. The Chlorine atom contains seven valence electrons. H(1) + Cl(7) = 8 (follows the octet rule)
What family has complete octet of valence electrons?
The noble gases have a complete octet of valence electrons. This means they have a full outer electron shell, which makes them stable and less likely to react with other elements. Examples of noble gases include helium, neon, and argon.
What is the octet electrons?
An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.
What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
What do metallic atoms produce when they lose their valence electrons?
An octet
What does it mean if an elements has 8 valence electrons?
it has a full octet
What states that atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of valence electrons typically?
The octet rule.
How many valance electrons does the oxygen have?
six valence electrons.....It only requires two more to complete octet....
How many electrons does oxygen need to reach an octet?
Oxygen needs to gain 2 electrons to reach an octet, as it has 6 valence electrons in its outer shell and requires a total of 8 electrons to have a stable octet configuration.
