How many electrons are there in the inner shell of hydrogen?
there are 2 electrons in the inner shell of a hydrogen atom.
What atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer level?
No atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer energy shell - there is the valence rule, stating that the maximum for the outer shell is 8 electrons.
How many electrons does one atom of astatine have in its outer shell?
Electrons per shell in astatine: 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 7.
How many electrons can be on a outer shell of a nucleus?
Electrons are not located in the nucleus of an atom.
Which things determine an element's electronegativity?
the number of valence electrons in the atom's outer shell how much the valence electrons are shielded from the nucleus
Does helium have a complete outer shell?
Not by itself, no (that is, hydrogen is not a noble gas). A neutral hydrogen atom starts out with 1 electron, but it needs 2 electrons to fill its shell. Therefore, a hydrogen atom will often form 1 covalent bond with another atom, in order to gain that 1 extra electron it needs to fill its shell. Important note: Most elements need 8 electrons to get a full shell, but hydrogen is the exception: it only needs 2 electrons to get a full shell.
How many electrons are there in the outer shell of a neutral neon atom?
8 electrons on the outer shell
What is the name given to the outer shell of the atom?
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
What kind of bond holds hydrogen atoms together?
It is a covalent bond. Each hydrogen atom wants to have a full outer shell of 2 electrons. As each atom has only 1 electron in its shell they can share the electrons between them.
How many electrons are there in the inner shell of hydrogen?
there are 2 electrons in the inner shell of a hydrogen atom.
What is on the outer part of the atom?
"valance shell"
What is the name of electrons in the outer most shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
Electrons in the outer most shell are called Valence Electrons.
Why do hydrogen like to make covalent bond?
Each hydrogen atom has one electron on its outer shell. The first electronic shell of any element can only hold 2 electrons, this means that each hydrogen atom needs one electron. 2 hydrogen atoms 'share' their electrons with each other, this can be shown on a dot and cross diagram. Each hydrogen now has 2 electrons on their outer shell and they have become stable. ;)
What atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer level?
No atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer energy shell - there is the valence rule, stating that the maximum for the outer shell is 8 electrons.
What electrons are the outer most shell of electrons in a atom?
Valence Electrons
How many electons does an oxygen atom have in its outer shell?
An oxygen atom has six (6) electrons in its outer shell.
What number of electrons in the outer outer shell of Cl?
A chloride anion contains eight outer shell electrons, one more than the seven outer shell electrons found in a chlorine atom.
