What are atoms with the same number of electrons in their outer energy level?

A vertical column of elements in the Periodic Table is called a group or family. Elements in a family share chemical properties. Some families, such as the halogens and noble gases, have specific names. They are also known as groups.

What does a atom's outermost electron shell does?
The outer energy level is in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. Each ring that surrounds the nucleus is an energy level and contains a different number of electrons.
What is the total number of electrons needed to completely fill all of the orbitals in an atoms second principal energy level?
8 electrons
Atoms may emit light energy when?
protons move to a higher energy level protons move to a lower energy level electrons move to a higher energy level electrons move to a lower energy level
How many electrons can an atoms 4th energy level hold?
32 electrons maximum
How many electrons on the fifth orbit?
The formula to determine the number of electrons in an energy level is 2n2, where n is the number of the energy level. For the fifth energy level, n=5. So the total number of electrons possible in the fifth energy level is 2(52) = 50.
What is true of the number of electrons in the outer energy level of nonmetallic atoms?
17.
How is the number of energy levels in an atom related to the periodic number?
The period number is the same as the highest energy level containing electrons for the atoms in that period.
How does the number of outer energy level electrons related to the properties of elements?
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
How does the number of the outer energy level electrons relate to the properties of elements?
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level atom barium?
2. the number of electrons on the outermost level is always equal to the group number. Barium is group 2 therefore it's outermost energy level contains 2 electrons
What does a atom's outermost electron shell does?

What is the total number of electrons needed to completely fill all of the orbitals in an atoms second principal energy level?
8 electrons
An atoms second energy level can hold up to how many electrons?
Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.
What is one way atoms fill their outermost energy level?
Atoms can fill their outermost energy level by either gaining electrons from other atoms or by sharing the outermost electrons with another atom.
Atoms emit energy as light when?
Atoms emit energy as light when electrons move to a lower energy level
How many d electrons can a second energy level hold?
The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
How many electrons does calcium have in the second energy level?
Calcium atoms have 8 electrons in the second energy level. However, they are not the valence electrons. The outermost electrons in a calcium atom in the ground state are 2 4s electrons. So calcium atoms in the ground state have 2 valence electrons in the fourth energy level.
