How many valence electrons does a neutral atom of silicon have?
A neutral atom of silicon will have 4 valence electrons. The amount of valence electrons that a neutral atom will have can be found by the atoms group number in the periodic table.
A neutral atom always has what?
Atoms are mostly empty space. They do have a nucleus. This contains subatomic particles. Protons. neutrons, and electrons are all subatomic particles. Protons carry a positive charge. Neutrons carry a neutral charge Electrons carry a negative charge. You may want to see the Bhor/plum-pudding model for more information.
What does -ion mean?
An ion is an atom with a positive (+) or negative (-) charge. This is because the atom has a different amount of electrons than its number of protons (aka atomic number).
How is a atom different from an ion?
atoms have neutral or no charge. ions have a charge whether positive or negative and have either more protons than neutrons and vice versa.An atom has an equal amount of Electrons and Protons, but an ion is a particle with an uneven amount of Protons and Electrons. A Cation, having more Protons than Electrons and an Anion, having more Electrons than Protons.
What indicates the number of an electron in a neutral atom?
Always the Atomic Number = Number of Protons If electrically neutral, Atomic Number = Number of Electrons = Number of Protons
When you have a neutral atom what are the electrons equal to?
The electrons are equal to the amount of protons in that neutral atom.
What equals the amount of protons in an atom?
Yes
What does an orbital do in an atom?
it holds the amount of electrons.
What is the equation use to find the amount of electrons are in fluorine?
The atomic number of an element tells you how many electrons there are and how many protons there are.
What number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element will be equal to?
The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.
How do you find amount of electrons in an atom?
Electrons are the same thing as protons so, you would look at the first # in the square "Atomic Mass" andthere's your awnser.

How much electrons are there?
In an atom, there are the same amount of protons as electrons, if that's what you mean.
How many electrons are found in carbon atom?
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
What would you find orbiting the nucleus of an atom?
If you're referring to the nucleus of an atom, the answer is electrons.
What is the chargeof an atom of boron?
It depends on the amount of electrons.
What is it an atom that has a different amount of protons and electrons?
Neutral
