When a group 1 metal reacts what happens to the outer shell electrons of its atoms?
When a group 1 metal reacts, its outer shell electron(s) are transferred to another atom or shared in a chemical bond. This results in the metal ion having a full outer shell of electrons, usually achieved by losing one electron to become stable with a +1 charge.
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 do the outer electrons in metal atoms differ from the outer electrons in nonmetal atoms?
Outer electrons in metal atoms are loosely held and can easily move, allowing metals to conduct electricity and heat. In contrast, outer electrons in nonmetal atoms are tightly held, making nonmetals poor conductors of electricity and heat. Additionally, metal atoms typically have fewer outer electrons than nonmetal atoms.
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.
Does an outer ring of a metal have more than four electrons?
Yes, an outer ring (or outer shell) of a metal can have more than four electrons. In general, transition metals and some post-transition metals can have varying numbers of electrons in their outer shells, often exceeding four. However, the specific number of outer electrons depends on the particular metal and its position in the periodic table. For instance, elements in groups 1 and 2 have fewer than four outer electrons, while transition metals can have more due to their d-electrons.

What is the metal AND non metal?
The differences between metal and non-metals are their chemical properties. Metals usually have 1-3 electrons on their outer shells, and non metals have 4-8 electrons in their outer shells.

Why is a metal with three outer electrons a better conductor that a metal with one outer electron?
Because an electric current is basically electrons moving along, so if there are more slightly freer electrons there wil be a greater facility for electron movement.
What happens to non metal in an ionic bond?
In an ionic bond, a non-metal atom gains electrons from a metal atom to achieve a full outer shell of electrons. This process forms an anion (negatively charged ion) out of the non-metal, as it now has more electrons than protons. The non-metal and metal ions then attract each other due to their opposite charges, forming the ionic bond.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of a rare earth metal?
2
Do all the electrons in a wire move to make the current in a circuit?
No, only the outer electrons of the metal atoms.
Does calcium has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?
forgot
What is similar about the outer shell of electrons in the alkaline earth metal family?
The outermost shell contains two electrons.
