How many valence electrons does an element in group 4 have are they reactive?

All elements in group four have FOUR valence electrons. This is easy to remember because the group number located at the top of the periodic table of elements corresponds precisely in all cases to the experimentally observed number of valence electrons in the elements. It is also important to know that the elements in group eight (the inert gases) all have eight valence electrons, meaning that they can neither gain or lose electrons in the way of bonding with other elements, thus the maximum number of valence electrons any molecule can have is eight.

What is the bonding capacity of oxygen?

bonding capacity is based on the oxidation number. the pattern throughout families 1-2 and 13-18 is 12343210. depending on wether the elements in a family lose or gain 1-4 valence electrons is what determines the bonding capacity. for example, the elements in family one, or the Alkali family elements, lose one valence electron to become stable. this means the next outer shell has 8 valence electrons and is therefore stable. family two elements lose 2 valence electrons in order to have 8 on the outer shell. family thirteen elements lose 3 valence electrons. family fourteen can either lose or gain their four valence electrons as long as they end up with an outer shell with 8 valence electrons. family fifteen gains 3 valence electrons, 16 gains two, and 17 gains 1. family 18 doesn't lose or gain any since it is already stable. if an element loses valence electrons its oxidation number will be a positive 1,2,3, or 4. if an element gains valence electrons its oxication number will be a negative 1,2,3, or 4. the pattern of oxidation numbers is the same as the bonding capacity and it is +1,+2,+3,+4/-4,-3,-2,-1 or 0. basically if you can find the oxidation number then you can find the bonding capacity


Why does carbon bond with so many elements?

it has 4 valence electrons


How many valence electrons does group 13 have?

== == It is three, the valence electrons basically depends on the last number of the group its in; such as, group 14 the valence electrons would be 4. i hope i helped
