Because both atoms have the same affinity for electrons and neither has a tendency to donate them, they share electrons in order to achieve octet configuration and become more stable. In addition, the ionization energy of the atom is too large and the electron affinity of the atom is too ...
Why the element having d^{10} configuration are not considered as transition elements? Is 1s22s22p6 the symbol for a macroscopic property or a microscopic property of an element? Explain. What is meant by the reference form of an element?
When atoms gain, lose, or share electrons they do so in order to have an electron configuration of a noble gas. a. True. b. False. True or False? The ground state electron configuration for the undiscovered element 118 is (Rn)7s25f146d107p6. True or fa...
