What are found in shells around the central part of an atom?

Electrons are found in shells around the central part of an atom. These shells represent different energy levels in which electrons can be located. The arrangement and movement of electrons in these shells determine the chemical properties of the atom.

Does the electrons go on the shells?

Yes electrons go on shells , that's the way the are organize . The more shells they fill the greater their atomic number .


Do atoms with many electron shells let go of their electrons easier than fewer shells?

More the number of shells in an atom, more away will be the electrons from the nucleus. Hence, weaker will be the attraction between nucleus and outermost electrons. So atom with more shells will let go their electrons easier than atoms with fewer shells.

What is different in number of shells in magnesium and sulphur?

There are no difference in the number of shells in magnesium and sulphur. Both elements contain 3 shells. However, the total number of electrons in the shells are different. Magnesium has 12 electrons in its shells whereas sulphur has 16 electrons in its shell. In addition, the electrons in the valence shell (outermost shell) are also different. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell whereas sulphur has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
