How many electrons are typically involved in bonding for group 1, group 2 and group 3 elements?

1 answer:

8 0

Here, we are required to determine how many electrons are typically involved in bonding for group 1, group 2 and group 3 elements and How many electrons are typically involved in bonding for group 6, 7 and 8 elements.

For group 1: Only one electron.
For group 2: Only two electrons
For group 3: Only 3 electrons
For group 6: Only 2 electrons
Fir group 7: Only 1 electron
For group 8: No electron

The Valence electrons are the electrons which are available for bonding and chemical reactions in elements.

The Valence electrons are the electrons which are available for bonding and chemical reactions in elements.However, not all Valence electrons are actively involved in bonding. This is evident in the group 7(halogens) elements, although they have 7 Valence electrons, only one is actively involved in bonding.

For group 1 elements: They have only one Valence electron and it is actively involved in bonding (ionic bonding)

For group 2 elements: They have only two Valence electron and both are actively involved in bonding (ionic bonding)

For group 3 elements: They have only three Valence electrons and all three are typically used for bonding.

For group 6 elements: They have 6 Valence electrons and are electronegative. As such, they only need to receive 2 electrons from an electropositive element and consequently, they only contribute two electrons into the bonding. As such, only 2 electrons are typically used for bonding.

For group 7: They have 7 Valence electrons and are highly electronegative. As such, they only need to receive 1 electrons from an electropositive element and consequently, they only contribute 1 electrons into the bonding. As such, only 1 electrons are typically used for bonding.

For group 8: They have a full octet configuration and are unreactive. Therefore, no electron is typically used for bonding.

Most atoms form compounds by forming octets in their outer shell. what does octet really mean?

Aleksandr [31]

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

Lab report Motion: 3. What methods are you using to test this (or each) hypothesis?

nadya68 [22]

Answer: You can increase the weight, then test the speed, and make the weight normal and test the speed, and mark which one travels faster.

Explanation: This would test your hypothesis by comparing the speeds of the cars when more mass is added. Calculating the difference of the speed with more mass, and the speed with normal mass would give you your answer. A positive number would prove your hypothesis and a negative number would disprove it.
