Atoms are trying achieve a stable electronic configuration i.e., stable arrangement of electrons in their electron shells. All configurations are not stable. Mostly stable configuration is attained by forming an octet of electrons in outer most shell. Sometimes octet rule is violated also.
it has 6 electron shells as it is in the sixth period on the periodic table.
Phosphorus in is 3rd period. So it has 3 electron shells.
Magnesium has three electron shells. The electron configuration is 2,8,2
No, iodine has 5 electron shells. It has a total of 53 electrons and its electron configuration is [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p5, indicating that it has 4 electron shells.
Curium has seven electron shells.
They have the same number of shells (or energy levels).
Plutonium has seven electron shells.
Samarium has six electron shells.
Magnesium has 3 electron shells. The electron configuration is : 2,8,1
Phosphorus in is 3rd period. So it has 3 electron shells.
The correct number of electron clouds or shells sodium has is 3.
it has 6 electron shells as it is in the sixth period on the periodic table.
Magnesium has three electron shells. The electron configuration is 2,8,2
No, iodine has 5 electron shells. It has a total of 53 electrons and its electron configuration is [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p5, indicating that it has 4 electron shells.
The addition of electron shells results in more shielding of electrons from the nucleus.
Hassium has seven electron shells.
Livermorium has 7 electron shells.
