What is the relationship between metals and the number of electrons in the outer level?

Chemistry

Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.

Why does hydrogen naturally form diatomic molecules (H2), whereas helium exists as a single atom (He)?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Hydrogen is a very reactive element. It doesn't exist as a single atom in nature. Neither do any of the other binary nonmetals -- nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. They're too prone to react with something. They react with each other and form binary molecules because the binary molecules are more stable than single atoms (by a lot!). Compounds with other atoms are even more stable, so hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water, and chlorine reacts with sodium to form table salt.

The formula for a compound of Li+ ions and Br- ions is written LiBr. Why can’t it be written Li2Br? Why isn’t it written BrLi?
maksim [4K]

Lithium has charge of +1 and bromide has charge of - 1. So they combine to form the compound lithium bromide which is expressed as LiBr.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium is an alkali metal placed in group 1 or periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as lithium loses an electron to achieve a charge of +1.

Bromine is a halogen which is placed in group 17 of periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as bromine looses an election to achieve a charge of - 1.

Lithium is the cation and bromide is the anion. So lithium is written in front and bromine following the cation. And as both of their valencies are 1, so they form the compound LiBr.

Complete the passage about metallic bonding.
Burka [1]

Answer:

some bonds are broken and new ones are formed. Now you are ready to learn more about those bonds. Chemical bonds are attractions between atoms. They are simply attractive forces (between the + nucleus of one atom and the - electrons of a neighboring atom) that hold groups of atoms together and make them function as a unit.
