There are 3 electron shells in Aluminum. The first shell holds 2, the second shell holds 8, and the third shell holds 3. This equals 13, its Atomic Number. http://www.chem4kids.com/files/elements/013_shells.html

A total of how many electrons are needed to fill the outer shell of most atoms?

There is a total of 8 electrons that are needed to fill outer shell of most atoms. An atom is the smallest unit of matter.


What do electrons have to do with chemical bonds?

Each element has shells of electrons and they are limited to how many can be shared in the outer shell. This lets us know what and how many atoms can combine with it. Hydrogen has the need for one electron in its outer shell. Oxygen has the need for two more electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, 2 hydrogen atoms can combine with oxygen.


How many valence electrons are needed to achieve a full outer shell?

It depends, most atoms need 8 total valence electrons in their outer shell (some need 2). So subtract the number they have (determined by the group that the element is in) from 8 and that is how many they need to fill their outer shell!


How many electrons does an atom like to have in its outer shell?

Atoms typically like to have a full outer shell, which often means having 8 electrons (an octet) for stability. This is known as the octet rule. However, there are exceptions for smaller atoms like hydrogen and helium, which can be stable with fewer electrons in their outer shell.


How many electrons does each atom desire?

Atoms do not actually have desires as such, although the metaphor can be useful. Atoms are more stable when they have a full outer electron shell.  The smaller atoms, hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium, can obtain a full outer shell with only two electrons in it.  The heavier atoms require 8 electrons to have a full outer shell.  That is known as the octet rule (an octet is a set of eight).

How many electrons are in the outer shell of B in the compound BF3?

Boron has 3 electrons in its outer shell. In the compound BF3, Boron will share one electron with each of the three Fluorine atoms, allowing Boron to have a full octet in its outer shell.
