Valence Electrons
Electrons on the outtermost edge of an atom's electron cloud
What are valence electrons
Calcium
What is a metal
Elements with more protons in their nucleus tend to have a stronger positive force that pulls on their own electrons and the shared electrons from other atoms. Elements that are better at pulling these shared electrons have a higher…
What is electronegativity
Gaining electrons turns an atom into a...
What is anion
Potassium
What is K+
How many valence electrons does Mg have?
What is 2
Ag
What is a metal
Elements with more protons in their nucleus tend to have a stronger positive force that pulls on the negatively charged electrons. The stronger the nucleus, the more _______________ is required to pull a valence electron away
What is ionization energy
<4 valence electrons
What is lose them all
Carbon (if it gains electrons)
What is C4-
How many valence electrons does Bromine have?
What is 7
Phosphorus
What is a nonmetal
Elements with more protons in their nucleus tend to have a stronger positive force that pulls the negatively charged electrons closer thus decreasing the size of the atom
