How do you know how many electrons are gained or lost in an atom?
You can determine how many electrons are gained or lost by looking at the atom's charge. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged; if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. The difference between the atom's original and final charge tells you how many electrons were gained or lost.
What is the name given to the outer shell of the atom?
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
How many electons does an oxygen atom have in its outer shell?
An oxygen atom has six (6) electrons in its outer shell.
How many electrons are there in the outer shell of a neutral neon atom?
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?
A rubidium atom is larger than a neutral atom because, when it loses an electron to become an ion, it loses an electron from the outermost shell, increasing the effective nuclear charge which attracts the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, reducing the size of the ion compared to the atom.

What is the outer-most shell of an atom called?

What are found in an atoms outer shell?
Electrons are found in an atom's outer shell. The outer shell, also known as the valence shell, is where the electrons involved in chemical reactions and bonding are located. The number of electrons in the outer shell determines the atom's chemical properties.
