How many electron must phosphorus gain in order to achieve an octet?
This atom must gain 3 electrons to achieve an octet.
How many shells are there in selenium atom?
Selenium has four electron shells.
What is the octet electrons?
An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.
What happens to the atom in a chemical reaction from the reactant side to the product side?
The atom simply donates, gains, or shares electrons in order to either reach its octet or reduce its electronegativity
Does xenon atom fit the Octet rule?
Yes it does.
In order to form an octet an atom of selenium will lose or gain?
gain 2 electrons
Which three elements violate the octet rule?
The octet rule cannot be satisfied in molecules whose total number of valence electrons is an odd number.There are also molecules in which an atom has fewer, or more, than an octet of valence electrons.
What must happen to a sulfur atom for it to have an electron arrangement similar to that of a noble gas?
Sulfur must to have an electrons octet.
How many electron must phosphorus gain in order to achieve an octet?
This atom must gain 3 electrons to achieve an octet.
How many shells are there in selenium atom?
Selenium has four electron shells.
How many electrons will each atom either gain or lose in order to satisfy the octet rule of Na?
Sodium would LOSE 1 electron to satisfy the octet rule.
What is formula for Selenium Hexafluoride?
Sulfur hexachloride is an inorganic compound consisting of two different elements. The prefix hexa indicates that there are six chloride atoms. Thus, the formula is SCl6. Note that this compound does not obey the octet rule.
What is the octet electrons?
An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.
How many protons are in a selenium atom?
34
Which atom has the atomic mass of 79?
Selenium
How many electrons are in the element selenuim?
Atomic number= No. of electrons in the atom. Atomic no. of selenium=34. Therefore,selenium has 34 electrons in each of its atom.
What is the rule of octet?
when the outer most shell of an atom was said to have 8 electrons then it was said to possess an octet
