How every many it takes to achieve a stable valence shell. Most of the time this is 8.
Most atoms seek to have a full outer electron shell, consisting of 8 electrons (or 2 electrons in the case of hydrogen and helium). This is known as the octet rule. However, there are exceptions to this rule for certain elements.
Helium atom has 2 electrons.
A stable sodium atom has 11 electrons.
13
Copper atom has 29 electrons.Uranium atom has 92 electrons.
There are 2 valence electrons in an atom of magnesium. There are 5 valence electrons that are in an atom of phosphorus. There are 4 valence electrons that are in a silicon atom.
A Mercury atom has 80 electrons.
The number of electrons depends on what type of atom it is.
A nitrogen atom has seven electrons.
The neutral atom of potassium has 19 electrons.
Helium atom has 2 electrons.
An atom's atomic number is the number of electrons.
The neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons in the atom.
The chlorine atom has 17 protons and electrons.
There are 5 valence electrons in the atom phosphorus.
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
