There are 12 electrons in the electron shell of magnesium, the same number as protons. As for the outermost shell, it would be 3s2, meaning there are two electrons in the third "s" shell.

What is the electron valence shell for c3h8?

The valence shell is the outter most shell that contains the most electrons. To find out how many valences there are you would mulitply the electrons. C3H8= (6)3 + (1)8=26 the outer valence shell will be 20.


How many electrons are supposed to be on the outter layer?

The outermost shell of an atom can hold a maximum number of electrons equal to 8 for the first 20 elements on the periodic table. This is based on the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer electron shell with 8 electrons.
