How many electrons are in the nucleus of an atom with the atomic number of 20?

None. Electrons are found in energy levels outside the nucleus, not in it. An atomic number of 20 tells you there are 20 protons in the nucleus of an atom, and 20 electrons in energy levels (or shells or orbitals depending on which model of the atom you are using) outside the nucleus.

How do the energy differences between higher energy levels of an atom compare with the energy differences between the lower energy levels of an atom?

They are smaller in magnitude than those between lower energy levels.


Electrons are located where in an atom?

The electrons in an atom are located in what is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is an "area of probability" where electrons may be. The electrons actually occupy fixed energy levels, the so-called Fermi energy levels, around the nucleus of the atom, and we identify these energy levels as shells and orbitals.

What is the difference between the isotope of carbon and hydrogen?

There are many differences between a hydrogen atom and a carbon atom. Most importantly, the number of protons and electrons within the atom. This is what gives atom's their characteristics. Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, while carbon is a solid at room temperature.
