Protons won't be found in an electron shell. They are concentrated in the nucleus.
The protons are in the nucleus. It's the electrons that are in the "shells" around the nucleus. There's just one electron in the third shell of the sodium atom.
firstly the protons are in the nucleus of an atom. there are 16 protons there. the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. the electron arrangement is as follows: first shell-2 electrons second shell - 8 electrons third shell - 6 electrons this can also be written as 2,8,6
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.
The nuclear charge in the 4th shell of an argon atom is +18, as argon has 18 protons in its nucleus. The nuclear charge is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
An isotope of Neon.
The central core of an atom is called the nucleus, not the shell.
Third Shell
Atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So, in your example, the number of electrons in this atom is 14. The first energy shell can take 2 electrons, the second energy shell can take 8 electrons, and the third energy shell can take 18 electrons. If there are 14 total electrons, 10 would be found in the first two energy shells, leaving 4 for the third energy shell.
A neutral silicon atom has 14 electrons, which are distributed among its electron shells according to the Aufbau principle. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third shell can hold the remaining 4 electrons. Therefore, the distribution of electrons in silicon is 2 in the first shell, 8 in the second shell, and 4 in the third shell.
The outer shell of an atom is populated by electrons, which have a negative charge. Protons, which have a positive charge hang out in the nucleus of the atom.
There're two particles in the atom nucleus (protons and neutrons)
in the third shell, an electron has more energy and is further from the nucleus
