A shell of an atom is meant to contain or hold an electron floating around the nucleus. They don't actually cover the whole atom. They're rings made of the electrons that float in orbit around the atom.but the answer is electron paths

∙ 15y agoThe first shell of an atom is the K shell . The no.of electrons in a shell can be determined by the formula 2*n*n where n is the shell number . Therefore the no. of electrons present is the first shell , i.e. K-shell is 2*1*1 = 2 electrons .

What type of shell is the outermost energy of a shell of an atom?
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
What do valence electrons determine how an atom interacts with other atoms?
They are on the outside of the atom. (Apex 2021)
Is The valence shell is the innermost shell of electrons in an atom?
false
The outer most shell of an atom is called the?
Valence shell
Another name for the outer shell of an atom?
the valence shell
Is it easier to remove an electron from the outside shell of a K atom than from the outside shell of a Na atom?
Yes.
Where are electrons in an atom?
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
In an atom electrons .?
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
What do you find in the shell of an atom?
your mom is found in the shell of an atom.
How does sodium atom and a chloride atom combine?
A sodium atom has one electron outside a closed shell, and a chlorine atom lacks one electron to fill a shell. A sodium chloride molecule forms by ionic bonding, the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting positive and negative ions.
What type of shell is the outermost energy of a shell of an atom?
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
Does an atom have a hard shell?
An atom doesn't have a "shell" at all. Electrons orbit an atom at different layers each called a "shell", so your answer is no.
When is the valence shell stable?
Whenever the outside shell of the atom, or valence shell, is completely full with electrons. Ex: The noble gases are lucky enough to start out stable because they fill their outer shells.
How many valence shells does an atom has?
The valence shell is the outermost shell...and an atom can only have one outer shell.
What is the name given to the outer shell of the atom?
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
How many electrons does ammonia's atom have in its K shell L shell M shell and N shell?
Ammonia is a molecule (NH3) and not an atom.
Where are the valence electrons in an atom?
In the outermost shell that has electrons in it, those are called the valence electrons. For example carbon has 6 electrons, but only 4 are valence electrons because there are 2 in the shell in between it and the center of the element and 4 on the outside shell.
