What else can I help you with?
What is the space occupied by the electrons called?
they are called electron shells or sometime orbits. there are 32 electron shells. this is also called the electric cloud in the modern atomic model.
Electrons spin about the nucleus at certain general levels called what?
Orbital shells.
A three-dimensional region around a nucleus where an electron may be found is called an?
an orbital. there are two electrons in each orbital, and groups of orbitals make up shells
Electrons found in the outer shell or orbital are called?
These electrons are called "outershell electrons" or "valence electrons."
How many orbital shells do boron have?
Boron has two orbital shells. The first shell contains 2 electrons, while the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons. Boron typically has 5 electrons, with 2 in the first shell and 3 in the second shell.
How many shells are there in Nitrogen?
there are two shells of electrons in the nitrogen atom that actually have electrons in them, nitrogen has two electrons in the first shell, the S orbital, and five in the outer shell, the P orbital. this causes nitrogen to have a valence shell with five electrons.
What are the layers of electrons surroundingthe nucleus of an atom called?
The layers of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom are called electron shells or energy levels. These shells represent the different energy levels at which electrons can orbit around the nucleus. Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on its capacity.
How many electron orbital shells does francium have?
Francium has seven electron shells; electrons per shell: 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 8, 1.
Who developed the model of an atom as a build up of successive orbital shells of electrons?
J.J Thompson discovered the electron during his famous cathode ray tube experiment in 1897, but it was actually Niels Bohr who discovered the electron shell (by accident), performing an x-ray experiment in 1909.
What Developed the idea of electron shells?
Who? Niels Bohr started the concept of electrons orbiting the nucleus, but I'm not sure he called them shells, but more along the lines of energy levels.
Electron shells in oxygen?
The 1S orbital will hold the innermost pair of electrons.
What are the region around the nucleus where the electrons are located called?
The region around the nucleus where the electrons are located is called the electron cloud or electron shell. Electrons exist in specific energy levels within these shells, determined by their distance from the nucleus.
