Does Francium give away electrons easily or hold on to them tightly?

Francium gives away electrons very easily due to its location in the alkali metal group, which makes its outer electron very loosely bound. This makes Francium highly reactive and likely to form ions by losing its single valence electron.

How many electron shells does the element titanium have?

This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.


Do alkali metals give away their outer electron?

Yes, alkali metals tend to give away their outer electron because they have a single electron in their outermost shell. This makes them highly reactive and eager to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically resembling that of the nearest noble gas. By losing this electron, alkali metals form positive ions (cations) and readily participate in chemical reactions.


What is the number of electron shells in the element magnesium?

Rather than to give a simple number as answer, I suggest to look up Magnesium on wikipedia, where you will even find a picture with the electron configuration. (And this method can be applied to answer the same question for any other element.)
