What are the Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell Every element in group two has two electrons in its outer shell?
Both statements are true:Every element in group I has one electron in its outer shell andEvery element in group II has two electrons in its outer shell
How many electrons are in the outer shell of the yellow group?
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
Which shell determines the chemical property of an element?
the outer shell - which 'wants' to be full.
An element is inactive if?
It has a full outer shell of electrons.
What are the Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell Every element in group two has two electrons in its outer shell?
Both statements are true:Every element in group I has one electron in its outer shell andEvery element in group II has two electrons in its outer shell
Element bromine electrons outer shell?
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
Some elements are highly what because their outermost energy levels are only partially filled?
The noble gases (helium, neon, krypton, xenon, radon) have complete outer electron shells, and the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine) have almost complete outer electron shells. Note that the chemical properties of an element with a complete outer shell are tremendously different from the chemical properties of an element with an almost complete outer shell.
How many are in the outer shell of the yellow group?
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
When an electron moves from the outer shell of one element to the outer shell of another element what kind of bond has been created?
This is an ionic bond.
Why is helium such a stable element?
Its outer electron shell is complete, with 2 electrons. Therefore it does not readily bond with other elements.
What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of the yellow group?
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell.

How many electrons are in the outer shell of copper?
The outer shell (N=4) of the copper element has 2 electrons.
Which shell determines the chemical property of an element?
the outer shell - which 'wants' to be full.
When an atom forms an ion describe the outer shell of the ion?
Depending on the element the furthest shell out, when the outer shell has been filled by an other element donating one electron it turns into an ion.
