Electrons are the prime observers. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle tells us that a quantum system is in a superposition state until it is observed. Many people have come to believe that this observer must be a human or a living creature but this is not the case. Electrons throughout the universe are the front line observers that collapse the waveform of atomic nuclei which are quantum systems. All of the matter you see around you are quantum systems whose waveforms had been collapsed by one or more electrons. So if you remove all of the electrons from lets say, a pound of rock or any matter, that masses superposition state is returned and you have a volume of what is known as a plasma. Yes the kind of plasma similar to that found in your plasma TV or in the sun.

If all electrons are removed, only nucleus will be left. It will be unstable.

Is it true that the number of electrons in an element is the same for all neutral atom of that element?

Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.


What element has 2 electrons in the l shell?

all


Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?

All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.


Which element in the oxygen family have 6 valence electrons?

all of them


What do all atoms of an element have?

They all have protons and electrons. And all but hydrogen have neutrons as well. The number of protons is an element's atomic number. Assuming the atom is neutral, this will also be the number of electrons. The number of neutrons can vary among isotopes of the same element.

Are the number of electrons different from every atom of every element?

Each element has a different number of electrons. All atoms of that element have the same number of electrons. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.


What element in the carbon family has 4 valence electrons?

All of them. They all have valence electrons, of ns2, np2

Does all gold in nature have electrons?

Gold has lots of electrons. All elements have electrons, but gold, a heavy element, has more than most.


How many electrons will an element in group 2 of the periodic table have?

That varies, element #3 will have 3, element 4 will have 4, etc. However, they all have 2 valence electrons.

All atoms of any single element have the same number of protons and electrons.


Plus how are all of the isotopes of an element similar?

All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons (in a neutral state).
