Does a neon-22 atom have 2 more electrons than a neon-20 atom?
The number of electrons is identical; the number of neutrons is different.
Why oxygen is a fairly reactive element while neon is not?
Oxygen is reactive because it needs to gain two more electrons to fill its outermost shell while neon's outermost shell is completely full of electrons. In more technical terms, neon has an octet of electrons whcih makes it inert. Neon forms no known compounds. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and reacts to "achieve" the octet. This can be by either forming ionic bonds where it gains two electrons to form the oxide ion, O2- or covalently where it shares electrons, as in water H2O where oxygen has shares two electrons with each hydrogen.
What is the number of subatomic particles for neon?
30 10 protons 10 neutrons 10 electrons
What is the number of protons of neon?
The number of electrons that a nucleus has is equal to the elements' atomic number, found on the periodic table. In the instance of neon (Ne), its atomic number is 10; therefore, it has 10 protons.
How many electrons does neon have?
Neon has 10 electrons.More Information:Its atomic number is 10. implying that neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons.As it has 8 electrons in the outer most shell it is very stable and does not need any other atom to contribute or to share with. So the neon atom is able to exist alone which is why it is known as an inert gas.Neon has 3 stable isotopes: 20Ne, 21Ne, and 22Ne; and 16 additional isotopes that are radioactive and range from 16Ne to 34Ne. All sport the atomic number of 10.
What noble gas has same electron arrangement as the oxide ion?
Neon, if you are talking about an oxygen ion.
What is the element whose atom has 8 electrons when neutral?
The number of electrons corresponds to the "index" number of the element in the periodic table. The 8th element is Oxygen, which has 8 atoms when neutral. That didnt answer the question. ANSWER Neon has 8 electrons :)
How are the elements nitrogen and oxygen different from neon?
There are 7, 8 and 10 protons in nitrogen, oxygen and neon respectively. Neon has 8 valence electrons and is stable. Nitrogen and oxygen have 5 and 6 valence electrons respectively are are reactive.
What is the neon's number of elelctrons?
Neon has 10 electrons
What ions have the same number of electrons as a noble gas out of Aluminum oxygen bromine and nitrogen?
Actually all the ions will have. Al3+, O2- and N3- ions will have the same number of electrons as neon (10 electrons), whereas Br- ion will have the same number of electrons as krypton (36 electrons)
Which one has more electrons neon-10 or neon-12?
Neither - they both have the same number of electrons.
Does a neon-22 atom have 2 more electrons than a neon-20 atom?
The number of electrons is identical; the number of neutrons is different.
How many protons electrons and valence elecrons does neon have?
Neon's atomic number is 10. Thus, neutral neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons. Since neon is a noble gas, it has 8 valence electrons.

How protons and electrons in neon?
In an atom, 10 protons and 10 electrons. (# of protons = atomic number) =)
What is in neon?
Neon is a element just like gold or boron even oxygen. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, 10 Protons, and 10 neutrons.
Neon has an atomic number of 10. it has electrons arranged as 2 8. Suggest why neon is very unreactive?
Neon has 10 electrons; the second (and external shell) is completely filled with 8 electrons.
