around the neucleus of the atom which cinsists of neutrons and protons
In a lead atom, the number of electrons in each orbit are as follows: 2 electrons in the first orbit (closest to the nucleus) 8 electrons in the second orbit 18 electrons in the third orbit 32 electrons in the fourth orbit
The second orbit has 8 electrons.
The number of electrons per orbit in an atom is determined by the energy level of the orbit. Each orbit can hold a maximum number of electrons, with the first orbit holding up to 2 electrons, the second holding up to 8 electrons, the third holding up to 18 electrons, and so on.
13 electrons are in the third orbit of Manganese.
do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
All atoms have electrons that orbit the nucleus, we are concerned with the outermost orbit. The outer orbit shell can have from 1 to 8 electrons. The fewer electrons an atom has in this orbit the better it is at conduction (one or two electrons, it is easy to knock one of the electrons out of orbit and pass to the next atom). The more electrons you have, the better it is at insulating. Nothing is a perfect insulator, if you apply enough voltage the electrons will move (current will flow). This is why the insulation on conductors have a voltage rating.
electrons orbit the protons and neutrons
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.
Electrons generally orbit in ellipses.
no, the electrons orbit the nuclei .
