1. If an element as 7 electrons in its outmost shell would that be reactive or stable ?explain your answer. 2. If an element has 1 electron in its outer shell what does that element want to do with that electron?explain for credit.

1. It will be reactive. It needs one more electron in its outer shell to be stable

2. That element will want to lose that electron so it will become stable. This is called ionic bonding where the element gives its electrons in its outermost shell to another element in order to form a compound and for it to be stable.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
