What are found in an atoms outer shell?

Electrons are found in an atom's outer shell. The outer shell, also known as the valence shell, is where the electrons involved in chemical reactions and bonding are located. The number of electrons in the outer shell determines the atom's chemical properties.


Is it the number of total electrons or the number of electrons on the outer shell that matters when dealing with bonding?

The number of electrons on the outer shell is what matters when dealing with bonding. These outer shell electrons, also known as valence electrons, are involved in the formation of chemical bonds between atoms.


What is the difference between effective valence electron and outer shell count?

Number of electrons in outer shell determines thechemical nature of the element and is unique per element. Effective Valence electrons is a calculated ratio between two concentrations of electrons. if n=resisitivity/(e*driftMobility) and n_at=density*Avogadro#/AtomicMass. Effective valence electrons is then n/n_at. Rounding this number should agree with outer shell electrons as predicted from the periodic table.


What part of an involved in a chemical bonding?

The outer shell electrons of an atom are involved in chemical bonding


What are eletronics?

Valence electrons are electrons found in the outer orbital (shell of an atom) They are the electrons used for bonding


What does the outer shell of electrons of an atom tell you?

The outer shell of electrons of an atom determines its chemical properties and reactivity. The number of electrons in the outer shell also determines the atom's ability to form bonds with other atoms.


Are all electrons available for bonding?

No, generally the electrons on the outer levels are available for bonding.


If an atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell what is its bonding capacity?

Two (2)


What are electrons found in an atoms outer shell called what?

The electrons in the outermost shell is called as valence electron. These electrons are free and they are involved in bonding reactions.


Explain bonding in terms of stability-a means of achieving a full outer shell either by transferring or sharing electrons?

Do you need outer shell for ionic bond?

Ionic bonding is when atoms either give away or take electrons. You do not need an outer shell.


How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to complete its outer shell?

An atom of oxygen needs 2 electrons to complete its outer shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell, so it will gain 2 electrons through bonding to achieve a full valence shell.
