To find the total number of electrons in an element, first you need to look up the element's atomic number. That number tells you how many protons are in the element. Then, look up the net charge of the element. The number of protons subtracted by the elements net charge will give you the number of its electrons.
it is related to the number of electrons that are in in the outer shell, and the total number of electrons
beryllium
Helium has 2 electrons (total of 2 electrons and 2 valence electrons)
Electrons or Protons. As they are effectively equal in no in a neutral atom.
This element is xenon.
This element is xenon.
No, the number of total electrons is equal to the number of protons.
The number of electrons are equal to the number of protons which is equal to the atomic number. That's if you're trying to find the number of total electrons. If you want to find the number of valence electrons (electrons in the outermost shell) you must look at the group numbers. The group number is equivalent to the number of valence electrons.
The atomic number is the number of protons (which is the same as the number of electrons) of an element

Total number of protons AND the total number of electrons.
To find the total number of electrons in an element, first you need to look up the element's atomic number. That number tells you how many protons are in the element. Then, look up the net charge of the element. The number of protons subtracted by the elements net charge will give you the number of its electrons.
Boron has 3 valence electrons out of five total electrons.
The velence electron will vary for element to element and can have 1 to 8 valence electrons.
In a neutral atom the total number of electrons is equal to the number of protons and atomic number.
The atomic number tells you the number of protons that an element has. An electrically neutral atom necessarily has the same number of electrons as it has protons.
