group 1/2/13

Question 1

how many electrons are in group 1’s outershell

Answer 1

it has one electron, meaning that the element is unstable due to the fact that it does not have a complete outershell. all elements in group one are unstable and very reactive

Question 2

do they get more reactive?

Answer 2

yes! as you move down the periods, the elements in group one get more reactive

Question 3

how do elements become stable

Answer 3

If the element can lose the outer-shell electron than it becomes a stable “atom”

Question 4

are ions different to a regular atom

Answer 4

However, as all atoms have equal protons and electrons, this “atom” is now called an ion.

Question 5

if an atom is an ion and it is located in group 1, what is it’s charge

Answer 5

• If the atom becomes an ion, it now becomes a charged ion with +1 charge.

Question 6

group 2 ion?

Answer 6

• If the atom becomes an ion and it is located in group 2, it becomes a charged ion, with +2 charge

Question 7

group 13 ion?

Answer 7

• If the atom becomes an ion and it is located in group 13, it becomes a charged ion, with +3 charge
