What role does valence electrons play in reactivity for an element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The valence electrons within an atom is the number of electrons in its outermost shell.

These electrons are used by an atom to react with one another. They  determine the extent to which an atom is ready to combine either by losing, gaining or sharing these electrons.

  • Every atom desires to have a completely filled outermost shell.
  • Only the elements in group 8 have a complete octet.
  • The need to attain stability is driven by the number of electrons in their valence shell.
  • Therefore, some atoms are very reactive.
  • Those needing one electrons to complete their octet and also those that must lose one electron are very reactive.

Identify the main purpose of the Periodic Table. *
saw5 [17]

The periodic table is one of the most important tools in the history of chemistry. It describes the atomic properties of every known chemical element in a concise format, including the atomic number, atomic mass and relationships between the elements. Elements with similar chemical properties are arranged in columns in the periodic table.

The table thus is a quick reference as to what elements may behave the same chemically or which may have similar weights or atomic structures.

Hope this answer helps you

In the electron cloud model, the electron cloud is denser in some locations than in others.
Sonbull [250]
<span>In the electron cloud model, the denser areas represent that there is a great probability that a good number of electrons are ganged up or crowded in that area. The electrons affect the density of some parts of the electron cloud when they condense in those locations.</span>

harry potter flips a coin (not magical ) 8 times. He gets heads 1 time. What are the odds that his next flip will be heads? A 10
rodikova [14]
C. 50%
Unless the question is saying he only gets heads once, in which case it would be 0%. Or the coin could have 2 heads. Then it would be 100%.
But I'm pretty sure it's 50%.
