The law of attraction. In an atom, there are three major components. A proton with a positive electric charge, a neutron with no electric charge, and an electron with a negative electric charge.
In science, opposites attract, and since a proton is positively electric, and an electron is negatively electric, they're attracted to one another. This attraction between different polarities of electricity is electromagnetism.

Can nonmetals gain electrons to fill their valence shells?
Yes, nonmetals generally gain electrons to fill valence shells.
How many electrons are there in outer shells?
6
How many electrons shells does iodine have?
46
How many occupied energy levels does a rubidium atom have?
Rubidium has 5 shells because the first shells has 1 electron, the next 2 shells have 8 electrons, the fourth shells has 18 electrons and the last shells has 2 electrons. the atomic number is 37, 1+8+8+18+2=37. Therefore Rb has 5 shells. :D
What is the most important factor in an elements place in the periodic table?
Its elemental weight
How Many Shells Of Electrons Does Iron Have?
iron has 4 shells because there are 30 electrons.
What does the group of the periodic have to do with reactivity?
The table was organized so that elements of similar properties are in the same group. What (partly) determines reactivity is the number of electrons an atom has in it's ground state. . Within the atom electrons are organized in shells. Atoms are stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell (for hydrogen and helium it is 2 electrons.) . Elements of: Group 18 have 8 electrons in their outer shells Group 17 have 7 electrons in their outer shells Group 16 have 6 electrons in their outer shells Group 15 have 5 electrons in their outer shells Group 14 have 4 electrons in their outer shells Group 13 have 3 electrons in their outer shells Groups 3-12 have varied number of electrons in their outer shells Group 2 have 2 electrons in their outer shells Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells
What are found in the electron shells or clouds?
Electrons are found in the shells and clouds.
What element group is considered to be an electron donor?
metals.this is because metals contain "free electrons" in thier outermost shells which are weakly held by the nucleus. so they are able to donate electrons
Does the electrons go on the shells?
Yes electrons go on shells , that's the way the are organize . The more shells they fill the greater their atomic number .
Do electrons occupy shells in electrons?
yes they do :D
Do atoms with many electron shells let go of their electrons easier than fewer shells?
More the number of shells in an atom, more away will be the electrons from the nucleus. Hence, weaker will be the attraction between nucleus and outermost electrons. So atom with more shells will let go their electrons easier than atoms with fewer shells.
What is different in number of shells in magnesium and sulphur?
There are no difference in the number of shells in magnesium and sulphur. Both elements contain 3 shells. However, the total number of electrons in the shells are different. Magnesium has 12 electrons in its shells whereas sulphur has 16 electrons in its shell. In addition, the electrons in the valence shell (outermost shell) are also different. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell whereas sulphur has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
How many shells and electrons does tunsten have?
Tungsten has 74 electrons!!
When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
Can nonmetals gain electrons to fill their valence shells?
Yes, nonmetals generally gain electrons to fill valence shells.
How many shells are there in element mercury?
There are 80 electrons shells for mercury.
