It depends which atom you are drawing!
In the centre, you have a nucleus...always.
Then 2 electrons ALWAYS.
Then, for example OXYGEN, has 6 on the outer shell.
Please, search this on bitesize OR the general internet. This is correct, but I dont think you will understand it, just by me saying that ^
Hope this has helped you understand that an atom always has a nucleus in the middle, and has 2 electrons on this inner circle... PLEASE SEARCH THIS ON THE INTERNET!

The neutral iodine atom contain the same number of electrons as protons - 53.
The most valence electrons an atom can contain is eight.
not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons
The barium atom (neutral) contain 56 electrons.
A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
A neutral potassium atom would contain 19 electrons because the atomic number of potassium is 19, which represents the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.
The number of electrons will be 118.
Any atom should have equal number of protons and electrons. If the atom contains 15 protons then it must contain 15 electrons.
If an atom has 18 protons, it is neutral and will have the same number of electrons, which is also 18. In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons, balancing the positive and negative charges. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will contain 18 electrons.
The number of electrons in an atom of an element is equal to its atomic number, which is the number of protons in its nucleus. For example, if the atomic number of the element is 6, it contains 6 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons matches the number of protons, ensuring overall electrical neutrality.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, in an atom with three protons, it would contain three electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge or number of electrons in the atom.
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of these particles is different for each isotope.
