How many electroms is in an atom of gold?
79 electrons. The number of electrons always match the number of protons in an element, also called atomic number.
The ratio of speed of a body to the speed of sound is called?
the Mach number
What energy state do electrons automatically fill?
As the periodic table of the elements is built up by adding the necessary electrons to match the atomic number, the electrons will take the lowest energy consistent with the Pauli exclusion principle.
Light from a lit match comes from?
electrons
If you only know the number of electrons can you determine the element?
No; not if it is an ion. A chlorine atom, for example, has 17 protons and 17 electrons, but a chlorine ion (like when it is in sodium chloride, which is table salt) has 17 protons and 18 electrons. So, if you see an element with 18 electrons, it could be a chlorine ion, an argon atom, or a potassium ion.

What does it mean for an atom to have an electric charge?
The number of electrons do not match the number of protons.
What are the two total number of electrons found on an oxygen atom?
An Oxygen atom consists of eight electrons. The total number of protons will always match the number of electron.
What is the loss and gain of electrons to form ions?
An electron or electrons is/are lost or gained to produce an ion. An atom with the same number of electrons as protons is a neutral atom. If the proton count and electron count do not match, that atom is electrically "imbalanced" and is an ion.
What two subatomic particles match the atomic number on the periodic table?
The two subatomic particles are protons and electrons. They match the atomic number on periodic table.
A number of people watching a match called?
tyre
The ratio of speed of a body to the speed of sound is called?
the Mach number
How many electrons are in the valence shell of an atom with the atomic number of 14?
A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons. A neutral atom with 14 electrons will therefore have 14 protons, as the negative electrons balance the positive protons. In an ion (atom with a charge), the number of electrons does not match the number of electrons.
What energy state do electrons automatically fill?
As the periodic table of the elements is built up by adding the necessary electrons to match the atomic number, the electrons will take the lowest energy consistent with the Pauli exclusion principle.
How does an ion develop?
An ion is an atom with a charge. This means that the number of electrons does not match the number of protons, thus giving it a charge. If there are more electrons, it has a negative charge. If it has more protons, it has a positive charge. Remember though, an atom cannot lose or gain protons, only electrons.
How can elements acquire a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to match the number of outer shell electrons of a noble gas.
Light from a lit match comes from?
electrons
