Atom x has seventeen protons so how many electrons are in it's valence shell?
The best way to answer this question is to look at the periodic table. Chlorine is the element with 17 protons (atomic number = 17), and chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its 3rd shell: Cl: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
Why does chlorine like to form the ion chlorine Cl-?
It does so because it gains an extra electron in order to attain a noble gas state, i.e. in order to contain the same # of electrons as a noble gas. in the case of Chlorine, that gas is Argon which has an atomic # of 18, therefor having 18 electrons. Chlorine has an atomic # of 17. In order to be monoatomic with Argon, it gains an extra electron to have a total of 18 electrons. Since it now has 1 more electron than protons, it's charge is -1. Therefore, it is written as Cl-.
How many protons does heluim have?
Heluim is a gas, used for filling up balloons and is also found in space
How many atoms does the element helium have?
Helium IS an atom. It has 2 electrons and 2 protons making it a noble gas.
How many electrons will chlorine gas gain or lose when it become an ion?
A chlorine atom will gain one electron when forming an ion. That will give the ion a charge of 1-.
Does a noble gas have twice as many electrons as protons?
equal numbers of protons and electrons
Chlorine number of electrons?
Each neutral chlorine atom contains 17 electrons, to balance the charge of the 17 protons contained in each nucleus of a chlorine atom. since chlorine at standard temperature and pressure exists as a diatomic gas, each molecule of chlorine will contain 2 times 17 or 34 electrons.
How many protons neutrons and elctions does nitrogen have?
Nitrogen is a neutral gas. It has 7 protons and electrons.
How many electrons does chlorine need to be a noble gas?
Chlorine need one extra negatively charged electron to be a noble gas.
How many electrons does chlorine gain to make a noble gas?
Chlorine gains 1 electron to achieve the noble gas electron configuration of argon.

How many protons neutrons and electrons does the inert gas helium have?
Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons.

Which atom has ten protons and ten electrons?
The noble gas neon has ten protons and an equal number of electrons.
How many electrons must Chlorine gain to acquire noble gas arrangement?
1 electron
How many protons electrons and valence elecrons does neon have?
Neon's atomic number is 10. Thus, neutral neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons. Since neon is a noble gas, it has 8 valence electrons.
Nitrogen gas and CO have equal number of neutron proton and electron Why?
ok N has 14 protons and electrons. C has 12 protons and electrons. O has 16 protons and electrons. nitrogen gas is not N, it is N2, which means 28 protons and electrons. C and O added up is also 28.
