Radium is a chemical metal element. There are 88 electrons in a single atom.
The neutral radium atom has 88 electrons, the radium cation has 86 electrons.
1. Radium has 88 protons. 2. Radium has not... americium !
Two electrons in the outer shell of radium.
Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron; radium has 88 protons and electrons. Also radium is radioactive.
Radium has two valence electrons.
Radium has 86 electrons.
There are 2 valence electrons in Radium. There are 2 valence electrons in Radium.
It is an isotope of the element, radium (Ra), with 88 protons, 88 electrons and 147 neutrons (235 - 88 = 147).
Radium is a group 2 element. All group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons. Thus, radium has 2 valence electrons.
The number of electrons in a radium atom is usually 88. If it goes though bonding however, it will tend to lose those two outer electrons, and become a radium ion. If it bonds with oxygen, which has 6 outer electrons, it will lose the two outer electrons it has to become a radium ion with a full outer level of 86 electrons, and oxygen will get a complete outer level of 8 electrons. Radium will become Ra2+, a typical radium ion, also known as Radium 86, as it loses 2 electrons.
There is no such atom as Radium 87 - it is Radium 88 and thus has 88. Francium is 87.
