How many outer orbital electrons is found in an atom of Be?

Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.


What group is an element with an outer level electron configuration consisting of one electron in the d orbital and two electrons in the ns orbital?

The elements in group 16 on the periodic table have four total electrons in their outer p orbitals.


How many electrons to fill a 6 proton outer shell?

An atom with six protons would be a carbon atom. It would have six electrons, two in the first shell, the 1s orbital, and four in the second shell, two 2s electrons and two 2p electrons. The 2p orbital is further out than the 2s, so depending how detailed you want to be there are either four in the second shell, or two in the 2p orbital.


If an atom has fewer than 4 electrons in its outer shell does it looses electrons gain electrons or both?

The atom wants to have eight or full electrons in its outer valence ring... so if it has four electrons in its outer shell it has the choice of loosing four electrons or finding four electrons somewhere else (whichever is the easiest for it to bond with).


How many electrons are needed to fill carbon outer shell?

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.


Does carbon have four electrons?

carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.


How many electrons would the atomic structure of Tin have on its outer shell?

There are four electrons found on the outer shell of a atomic structure of tin. They are in a group of four.


How many number of electrons to fill the outer shell of carbon?

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.


As many as four electrons can occupy the same orbitals?

No. Electrons are fermions, meaning they cannot share the same set of four quantum numbers. Usually when we say "orbital" we only mean the first three, so there is room for two electrons in an orbital (corresponding to the two possible ms values).


How many electrons are in the outer shell of germanium?
