Thorium is a metal element. There are 90 electrons in a single atom.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
Thorium (Th).
there are two electrons the first shell hold
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
Two electrons.
Thorium's atomic number is 90. Thus, thorium has 90 protons per atom. To be electrically neutral then, thorium must also have 90 electrons per atom.
First shell contains atmost two electrons. The formula is 2n. where n is the no. of shell u want to calculate its capacity of no of electrons..thanku
Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.
what is the arrangement of electrons in an atom of a silicon
