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
there are three electrons on the outer shell of aluminium
Aluminium has three electron shells.
3
There is 3
Normally, three.
Only when their outer shell is saturated>>>>>>>>>>>>
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!
There are two electrons on the outer shell which means they are pretty reactive. (make bonding easier)
The outer shell of calcium has two electrons.
No it doesn't... Aluminum has 3 extra electrons in the outer shell
there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..
Normally, three.
Only two electrons.
Atoms often form ions by losing or gaining enough electrons to end up with a full outer shell. How many electrons are in a full outer shell for most atoms? Don't know? How about Googling full outer shell?
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.
8
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.
Only when their outer shell is saturated>>>>>>>>>>>>
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. Β The smaller atoms, hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium, can obtain a full outer shell with only two electrons in it. Β The heavier atoms require 8 electrons to have a full outer shell. Β That is known as the octet rule (an octet is a set of eight).
because u suck
you would need a full outer shell so 8
