Neon is inert because its outermost shell is complete. Neon is already in noble gas configuration and it will be very difficult to change this, essentially making it inert.

Nitrogen is inert because its outermost shell has eight electrons. Nitrogen's outermost shell only has 3 electrons so it is generally unstable and wants to gain 3 more to be in noble gas configuration.

Oxygen is more reactive than fluorine because oxygen needs only one electron to fill its outermost shell. This is just completely false, Fluorine is the most reaction element there is.

Fluorine is more reactive than neon because fluorine has to lose only one electron to fill its outermost shell. Although fluorine is more reactive, this is because it only needs to GAIN one more electron, not lose one more.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.

Which describes Ernest Rutherford’s experiment?
inna [77]

The best description of Ernest Rutherford's experiment is letter C. The positively charged particles were fired through a gold foil. Most of these particles went right through, while others bounced back. This experiment led to the discovery of the nucleus.
