2 electrons there will be only 3 shells these shells are filled with electrons in this order; 2, 8, 8. But as you only have twelve there is no second eight it just has 2 electrons in that shell, lol well anyways the answer is two.

How do you work out how many electrons in an atom?
An atom's atomic number is the number of electrons.
How many electrons are on a boron atom?
5- the atomic number of boron is 5. Atomic number is the number of protons and this is the same as the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
How many electrons in an atom with the atomic number 8?
There are 8 electrons.
How many electrons orbit the nucleus if the atom has no charge?
If the atom has no charge, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons (atomic number).
How many electrons does an atom with an atomic number of 20 have?
Of course, 20 electrons.
How do you work out how many electrons in an atom?
An atom's atomic number is the number of electrons.
How many electrons are in a neutral atom atomic number 6?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number.
How many electrons are on a boron atom?
5- the atomic number of boron is 5. Atomic number is the number of protons and this is the same as the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
How many electrons in atom with atomic number of 9 and atomic mass of 19 and is electrically neutral?
Since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons in the atom, which is the definition of atomic number. Therefore, there are 9 electrons.
How many electrons in an atom with the atomic number 8?
There are 8 electrons.
What does the atomic number describe about an atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
How many electrons are in the element selenuim?
Atomic number= No. of electrons in the atom. Atomic no. of selenium=34. Therefore,selenium has 34 electrons in each of its atom.
How many electrons does an atom potassium havew?
Finding the number of electrons in an atom is easy. You just have to know the atomic number of the element. The atomic number for Potassium is 19. That means Potassium has 19 electrons.
If a atom of tin has a mass of 118 and an atomic number of 50 how many electrons does it have?
If the atomic number is 50, the number of electrons is 50.
How many electrons are present in an atom?
That depends on the element you are considering. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons = number of protons = atomic number
How many electrons orbit the nucleus if the atom has no charge?
