what happens when an electron from outermost orbit is completely detached
Answers
Answer:
The stability of atoms depends on whether or not their outer-most shell is filled with electrons. If the outer shell is filled, the atom is stable. Atoms with unfilled outer shells are unstable, and will usually form chemical bonds with other atoms to achieve stability.
Explanation:
It is well known to us that an atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The central mass of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons and electrons revolve in orbitals. The number and arrangement of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom determine the physical, chemical and electrical properties of an element. The numbers and arrangements of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom are collectively called structure of an atom of the element. The structure is alternatively called atomic structure.
