If the outer orbital is not full of electrons, the atom is unstable. It will react with other atoms to fill its outer shell.

What is the orbital filling diagram for silicon?

The orbital filling diagram for silicon shows two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, and six electrons in the 2p orbital. This gives silicon a total of 14 electrons in its outer shell.


How many electrons are in the outer energy levels of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d4?

There are 18 electrons in total, and the outer energy levels are the 4s and 3d orbitals. Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the 4s orbital and 4 electrons in the 3d orbital, making a total of 6 electrons in the outer energy levels.

Is the outer shell of argon full?

Yes it is . The outer argon is full becoz it has 18 electrons


Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms form?

Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons. Let's take hydrogen for example. To be the most "happy" atoms want their outermost orbital full of electrons. Hydrogen has only one electron in its 1s orbital, but the 1s orbital can hold two electrons. Hydrogen wants two electrons to be "happy" so it will do what it takes to get them. If a hydrogen atom bumps into another hydrogen atom they can both become "happy" as each atom will share its electron with the other atom, giving each a full outermost orbital with the help of the other atom's electron. This is what creates the bond in covalent bond as the hydrogen atoms are "happier" together with a full orbital than they would be with a half-full orbital apart.

What is the most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction?

The most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction is typically achieved when the atom has a full outer shell of electrons, usually eight electrons (except for hydrogen and helium, which have a full outer shell with two electrons). This configuration is known as the octet rule and is associated with greater stability due to a lower energy state.


How many outer orbital electrons is found in an atom of Be?

Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.


When typical atoms outer orbital is filled it will have how many electrons?

When a typical atom's outer orbital is filled, it will have 8 electrons, except for helium which will have 2 electrons. This is because the outer orbital, known as the valence shell, can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.


What elements have four electrons in its outer p orbital?

The elements which falls under the group 16 has 4 electrons in its outer p orbital...


Is valence electrons in the outer most orbital?

Yes, valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level or orbital of an atom. These electrons are involved in determining the chemical properties of an element and its ability to bond with other atoms.


How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of chlorine?

There are 7 outer orbital electrons in an atom of chlorine, as it has 7 electrons in its outermost energy level.


How many rings does zinc have?

Zinc has a full outer electron shell with 2 electrons in the S orbital and 10 electrons in the D orbital, so it has a total of 12 rings or energy levels.


What is an atom that will lose or gain electrons until they have a full outer shell?

Anion (if it has an almost-filled outer shell) or a cation (if only the outer S orbital is filled or partially filled)


What is the orbital filling diagram for silicon?

What is the full form of p orbital?

A full p orbital contains 6 electrons.


How many electrons are in the outer energy levels of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d4?

There are 18 electrons in total, and the outer energy levels are the 4s and 3d orbitals. Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the 4s orbital and 4 electrons in the 3d orbital, making a total of 6 electrons in the outer energy levels.


Where is the most Stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons?

The most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons is a full valence shell. This occurs when an atom has all its outermost energy level electrons filled. Elements strive to achieve the electron configuration of noble gases, which have a full outer shell of electrons and are considered to be very stable.
