iron has 4 shells because there are 30 electrons.
There are 26 electrons in an iron atom. Each neutral iron atom has a total of 26 electrons occupying various energy levels or electron shells.
46
The electron configuration of iron is [Ar]3d64s2. The electron shells contain 2, 8, 14 and 2 electrons.
there are 26 electrons in iron
Tungsten has 74 electrons!!
More the number of shells in an atom, more away will be the electrons from the nucleus. Hence, weaker will be the attraction between nucleus and outermost electrons. So atom with more shells will let go their electrons easier than atoms with fewer shells.
Iron is a metal element. There are 26 electrons in a single atom.
Mercury has 80 electrons which means there are 6 shells in a neutral atom of mercury.
There are six 2p electrons in Iron
there are seven
Iron has 26 electrons, so it would have multiple electron clouds corresponding to different energy levels and orbitals. These electron clouds would be distributed in multiple shells around the nucleus according to the principles of quantum mechanics.
Berkelium has 97 electrons, which means it has 7 electron shells.
