How am i supposed 2 no? im the 1 who asked the question!
Argon has 18 electrons in its electron cloud.
Germanium has 32 electrons in its electron cloud.
A chlorine atom typically has 17 electrons in its electron cloud.
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.
The first energy level in the electron cloud can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

None, electrons are in the electron cloud, not the nucleus
Germanium has a total of 32 electrons in different orbitals.
Fluorine's atomic number is 9. Thus, fluorine has 9 protons and 9 electrons. As with every atom, all 9 of fluorine's electrons are found in the electron cloud.
A boron atom has 5 electrons in its electron cloud. Boron has an atomic number of 5, meaning it has 5 protons and normally 5 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.
Each level of the electron couds hold a certain number of electrons. The first holds 2, the second 8, the third 8.(This is the rule used for an electron cloud.) You can base the number of rings by the number of electrons in the particular element.
