What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
What is the outer electron configuration for rutherfordium?
The electron configuration of rutherfordium is: [Rn] 5f14 6d2 7s2.
How many electrons are there in the outer most orbit of an element in the alkali metal family?
1 electron in the s orbital
Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?
it has one electron in its outer energy level like all alkali metals
What is the outer electron configuration for copper?
The electron configuration of copper is 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s1.
What are some Alkali metal facts?
The alkali metals exist in group one of the Periodic Table; as such, they are in the s-block. The electron configuration for each alkali metal ends in ns1. When represented in an Aufbau diagram, the outer shell electron has an "up" spin. Because of their single outer shell electron, alkali metals react well with halogens.
What are some metallic facts?
The alkali metals exist in group one of the Periodic Table; as such, they are in the s-block. The electron configuration for each alkali metal ends in ns1. When represented in an Aufbau diagram, the outer shell electron has an "up" spin. Because of their single outer shell electron, alkali metals react well with halogens.
What is the group that has one electron in its outer level?
alkali metal
When an alkali metal reacted with a non metal what happens to the loan outer shell electron?
The electron outside the shell donate its electron to the one inside the shell
Does alkali needs to gain one electron to have a completely outer shell?
I assume you are talking about the Alkali metal group which in fact would readily loose their outer electron to form a 1+ cation (have a full valence electron shell).
What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.

1 electron in the s orbital
Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?
it has one electron in its outer energy level like all alkali metals
What does not have identical outer electron configuration?
halogens
Why is hydrogen in group 1 if it is not a metal?
It is classed with group 1 because, like the alkali metals it has only 1 outer shell electron.
What is the characterisitc of the outer electron shell of alkali metals?
The oute (valence) shell of the alkali metals contains just one electron
