What else can I help you with?
Do all nonmetals have a completelyfull Valence shell of electrons?
There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.
What is the non metal in the third period with six outer electrons?
Oxygen is the only nonmetal with 6 Valence Electrons in period 2.
Do Aluminum has the greatest number of valence electrons?
Far from it. Aluminum has 3 valence electrons. The highest number is 8, which the noble gases other than helium have (helium has only 2). Metals can have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons, so aluminum has the greatest number that an element can have if it is a metal. Once you get to 4 valence electrons (which the element carbon has) you are in the nonmetal range.
The outermost electrons in an atom are called?
Valence electrons
What are the electrons in the outmost shell of an atom called?
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
What happens to valence electrons as an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?
At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.
What exists between a metal and a nonmetal?
Valence electrons
Do all nonmetals have a completelyfull Valence shell of electrons?
There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.
How many valence electrons are in a stable nonmetal ion?
8
How many valence electrons would be common for an atoms of a nonmetal?
chocolate
What is the non metal in the third period with six outer electrons?
Oxygen is the only nonmetal with 6 Valence Electrons in period 2.
How is the number of valence electrons of a nonmetal related to the charge on the ion the nonmetal?
Nonmetals will undergo chemical reactions that result in a stable electron configuration of 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons tells you have many they have in their outer shell prior to any chemical reaction, and therefore, how many more electrons they need to get a complete set of 8. So for example, oxygen has 6 valence electrons and therefore needs 2 more to have 8, so it will form an ion with a charge of minus two, which is the charge that is carried by the additional two electrons that oxygen will acquire. Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, therefore it needs just one more electron to complete its outer shell, and as an ion will have a charge of minus one. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, so it needs 3 more, and will form an ion with a charge of minus three.
Do Aluminum has the greatest number of valence electrons?
Far from it. Aluminum has 3 valence electrons. The highest number is 8, which the noble gases other than helium have (helium has only 2). Metals can have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons, so aluminum has the greatest number that an element can have if it is a metal. Once you get to 4 valence electrons (which the element carbon has) you are in the nonmetal range.
What element has 6 valence electrons and 2 energy levels and is a non metal?
The element you are describing is oxygen. It has 6 valence electrons and 2 energy levels, placing it in group 16 of the periodic table as a nonmetal.
How may valence electrons atoms of can nonmetals have?
Variable; a correct answer is possible only for a specified nonmetal.
What is true about the element calcium Ca atomic number 20 A It has 2 valence electrons B It has 4 valence electrons C It is a nonmetal D It is reactive E It is metal?
E. It is metal. Calcium has 2 valence electrons and is classified as a metal. It is also reactive, especially with water and oxygen.
Are electrons are used in bonding are called valence or ionic?
They are called valence electrons. Ionic is a bond between a nonmetal and a metal. A covalent bond(molecular bond) is between two or more non metals.
