53
An iodine atom has seven valence electrons.
The neutral iodine atom contain the same number of electrons as protons - 53.
Iodine is a non metal element. There are 53 electrons in a single atom.
Seven
As an iodine atom has 53 electrons, an iodide ion has 54 electrons.
Iodine has 53 electrons. The atomic number equals the number of protons in an atom, and since iodine is neutrally charged, it also equals the number of electrons.
Iodine has 53 protons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, iodine also has 53 electrons. This balance of protons and electrons ensures that the atom is electrically neutral.
The outer most electron shell of iodine atom contains 7 electrons.
There is no Iodone atom, there is however an Iodine atom that has seven valence electrons or seven electrons in outermost shell.
Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.
Each iodine atom in a molecule of carbon tetraiodide has three non-bonding pairs of electrons.
