They have different numbers of valance electrons
equal numbers of protons and electrons
Magnesium has 2 electrons on its outer energy level.
Helium has 2 electrons
all atoms have different numbers of electrons hydrogen=1 Ununoctium=118
There are different numbers of valence electrons in different elements.
2: A neutral atoms must have the same numbers of protons and electrons.
An osmium atom has 76 protons and 76 electrons, as the number of protons equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A niobium atom has 41 protons and 41 electrons. These numbers correspond to their respective atomic numbers on the periodic table.
Transition metals have multiple oxidation numbers because of their ability to lose different numbers of electrons from their outermost d orbitals. These d orbitals can accommodate varying numbers of electrons, resulting in different oxidation states for transition metals based on how many electrons they gain or lose during chemical reactions.
Different elements have different numbers of valance electrons, which is the main reason why they also have different chemical characteristics.
