Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
Which group of metals are the most reactive metals? How many valence electrons does this group of metals have?
Metals:
- Elements which can donate electrons easily are called as metals.
- Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity.
- Metals posse’s hardness, tensile strength properties.
Valence electrons: The last shell electrons are called as valence electrons.
Answer of given question:
- Among all periodic table group-I elements are mostly reactive.
- Reason is that they posses only one electron in last shell.
- That electron will be easily donated easily.
- So their occurrence in nature is in combined form.
- These elements are solids in nature.
- Due to all above reasons group-I metals are highly reactive.
