Question #b07dc - Socratic
Helium is unable (really) to attract other electrons, so doesn't really have an electronegativity. Since it has a full outer shell, it cannot bond, so its electronegativity is irrelevant. Fluorine has …

Question #89c74 - Socratic
It doesn't matter. It's Gallium, an element that you can see is using d orbitals. That allows it to store up to an additional 10 electrons, allowing it to have 18 electrons in its n = 3 set of …
Question #280f7 - Socratic
We know that ionization potential or the first ionization potential is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from a neutral gaseous atom of an element. Similarly second and third …
