The period number is equal to the number of shells. Periods are the horizontal rows on the Periodic Table. The number of shells increases down a group.
A periodic table of the elements.
Barium (as an element not an ion) has a proton number and electron number of 56. It has 6 shells the outermost shell has 2 electrons. It is in Group 2 on the periodic table which shows that it tends to lose its 2 valence electrons in order to become stable. It has 56 protons and 81 neutrons in its nucleus.
Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific shells. The K shell is the closest to the nucleus, and is followed by the L, M, N, O, and P shells, which move further out as the letter increases.
The arrangement of electrons in an atom.
The neutron is in the Nucleus and has a neutral charge whereas the proton that is also in the Nucleus has a positive charge. the electrons, which have a negative charge, are in concentric circles around the nucleus. If the atom had an atomic number of 16 then the electrons would be positioned like this; 2 in the first circle, 8 in the next and 6 in the final. The last number shows what row of the Periodic Table that atom of the element is in. Hope I helped. 2000AD
A periodic table of the elements.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element. It defines the element. No two different elements can have the same number of protons. It is used to lay out the periodic table because the table shows the elements in increasing numbers of protons.

it shows how many protons are present in an atom
Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific shells. The K shell is the closest to the nucleus, and is followed by the L, M, N, O, and P shells, which move further out as the letter increases.
The atomic number is also known as protons. It shows the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom and identical to the charge number of the nucleus.
The Periodic Table is arranged in periods and groups; elements are placed in the ascending order of the atomic number. The law of periodicity from Mendeleev is respected.
The arrangement of electrons in an atom.
The elements are all organized according to atomic number from smallest to largest and placed in rows and columns based upon their size, number of electrons in the outer shell and common characteristics.
The neutron is in the Nucleus and has a neutral charge whereas the proton that is also in the Nucleus has a positive charge. the electrons, which have a negative charge, are in concentric circles around the nucleus. If the atom had an atomic number of 16 then the electrons would be positioned like this; 2 in the first circle, 8 in the next and 6 in the final.

Calcium is in group 2, period 4 of the periodic table. It has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2. This shows us that 4 is its valence shell. Therefore, the other 3 shells are its core shells.
