Somewhere between 1 & 8 (unless ionised - could have 0). Which atom are we talking about here? Rule of thumb (not including Lanthanide & Actanide series) - Find which column it is in on the Periodic Table of elements and that's how many electrons it will have in it's (non-ionised) state.
There is one electron on cobalts outer shell.
4V V-Valence Electrons Valence Electrons-Last electron (which is on the outer shell)
The hydronium ion has NO(zero) electrons in its outer structure It can be thought of as a 'single proton'. However, it usually combines/attached to another molecule, such as water making the hydronium ion ' H3O^(+) '. or an ammonia molecule making the ammonium ion ' NH4^(+) ' . This is because these two molecule have lone pairs of electrons in their outer energy shells to which the 'proton' can attach.
The outer most electron shell of iodine atom contains 7 electrons.
Valence Electrons
Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.
The outer shell (N=4) of the copper element has 2 electrons.
Alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer shell.
The outer shell is called the valence shell
Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell. The electron configuration of carbon is 1s² 2s² 2p², where the two electrons in the inner shell (1s) are not counted toward the outer shell. Therefore, in the outer shell (2s and 2p), carbon has a total of four electrons.
Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outer shell, so there are 3 electron pairs in the outer shell of nitrogen.
These are the valence electrons.
