How many electrons are usually in the outer orbit of a neutral atom of magnesium?
2 electrons orbit in the outer shell. If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
How many electrons are usually in the outer orbit of a neutral atom of magnesium Mg?
2 electrons orbit in the outer shell. If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
Which other elements contain the same number of outer electrons as sodium?
Lithium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium.
How do lithium and fluorine become stable together?
lithium donates the electron in its outer orbital to fluorine which then has a completed outer shell
The melting point of beryllium is 1287 C while that of lithium is 180 C what is the large difference in the values?
It has to do with the number of electrons in the outer shell. Lithium, a group I element, has only 1 electron in its outer shell, and only delocalizes one electron in the metallic lattice (the solid form). Beryllium, a group II element, has 2 electrons in its outer shell, and delocalizes two electrons in the metallic lattice, which increases the attraction between the delocalized electrons and the metal ions.
Number of electrons in americium?
95 electrons, two of them are in the outer orbit.
What element has 3 electrons in outer orbit?
Hydrogen ions in water have zero. If you just mean neutral atoms in gas phase, then hydrogen, helium and lithium.

How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen usually have in it's outer orbit?
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. These are in the outer orbit.
How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen O usually have in its outer orbit?
A neutral atom of oxygen has 6 electrons in it's most outer orbit. Generally, if you count horizontally from left-to-right on the periodic table, you get the number of electrons in its' most outer orbit. You start every row with 1, of course. :) Hope that helps!
What Can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to become free of their orbit?
External forces can cause electrons in the outer orbit of an atom to break free of their orbit. Conductors can increase the chances of this happening.
The reactivity of an atom is due to its number and arrangement of in the outer energy level or orbit?
The reactivity of an atom is due to its number and arrangement of __________ in the outer energy level (or orbit). your question was confusing but I was able to interperet it. the answer is Electrons
Is valence electrons in the outer most orbital?
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
How many electrons are in the outer most shell of lithium?
1
Do all elements in the Oxygen family have two electrons in its outer most orbit?
All elements in the oxygen family have 6 electrons in the outer orbit.
