Why does sodium have a lower first ionization than neon?

neon is a nobel gas... the outer electron shell is full the sodium atom has only one electron in the outer shell which is very unstable the sodium atom want to fill up that outer shell with joined atoms so that it becomes full... that is why it ionizes so easily... it is grabbing electrons from other atoms easily

How many electrons would be expected in the outer most shell of an atom with an atomic number of 10?

Given what we know about electron structure, we would expect there to be 8 electrons in the outer shell of an atom with the atomic number of 10. And that's how many there are. Element 10 is neon, and like all noble or inert gases, it has a full outer shell.There are only two electron shells for all the elements up through element 10 (neon). The first shell will only accept 2 electrons. That's the s shell, and it's the outer shell (and the only shell) for helium (the lightest inert gas). The next 8 electrons will fill the second electron shell, which is the p shell. That means element 10 (the inert gas neon) will have a full s shell (2 electrons) and a full p shell (8 electrons).


How many electrons are in the outer shell of neon?

Neon is a noble gas, which means all it's electrons shells are full. innermost shell has space for 2 electrons, followed by 8 in the next shell, 8 in the next shell and so on. Answer therefore is 2.


How many electrons does neon have in its outer shell?

Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.


How come the net charge of aluminum ions is plus 3 because there are-?

A neutral aluminum atom has 3 electrons in its outer shell and a full outer shell of 8 electrons below that. This full outer shell is stable, so aluminum will lose its 3 outer shell electrons to achieve that configuration.

How many electrons are there in a first shell of a neutral neon atom?
