Valence Electrons And Energy Levels Of Atoms Of Elements Flashcards
What do electrons determine?
How an atom react with another atom or molecule
Na + H20
An electron can make a difference in ________ of an atom
Properties
Exp Na electron in last orbital- shiny explosive
W out the last electron we can consume it
Lewis dot diagram represents
They’re valence electrons
Octet has
8 valence electrons
S& p orbitals are filled with electrons so they are extremely stable
As you move down the period what happens?
The number of orbitals increase
Having an outer electron flying alone on the orbital makes the atom
Chemically unstable
The ability for the outer valence electron to chemically react is dependent on
How easily it can get rid of the other electron
The more orbitals an atom has and a line valence electron
The higher it will react!
Li—- sizzle in water because it’s valence electron is close to the nucleus/ harder to give up
But when K goes in water it blows up because the valence electron is farther from its nucleus and can loose the electron easily
The period represent the energy level _______ will have
Valence Electrons
Group represents
Valence electrons
