Explain how the arrangement of electrons in an atom is related to the periodic table?

The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons that an atom has. The number of protons an atom has the atomic number and an element is placed on the Periodic Table based on its atomic number. An atom has electron shells where the electrons are placed. the first holds 2 the second holds 8, and the third holds up to 18 electrons but can be stable with only six. When an atoms' outermost electron shell has at least 8 electrons and when there's a vacancy or not enough electrons in the outermost shell, that atom will try to bond with another atom to fill its outermost electron shell. So if an atom has 8 protons then it has 8 electrons which means that 2 electrons will fill the first level and 6 electrons will fill the second level. this means that the atom is unstable and needs to take in 2 electrons from another element or bond with another element.
Duuude^^ that answer doesnt help i need that question but that answer doesnt answer that question js'
^ummm.... yea that does.... it's perfect for me dude. Reread the question....

∙ 12y agobecause the periods in the periodic table are determined by the arrangement of the electrons!

∙ 9y agoOn the periodic table the number of electrons that are found in the elements increases in each row. The columns all have the same number of outer electrons.

How many electrons are in the electron cloud of a nickel atom?
Nickel has 28 protons; thus, it has 28 electrons.
How are electron configurations related to the periodic table?
Electron configuration is the arrangement of elements according to their increasing atomic numbers whiles period is the arrangement of elements according to the increasing number of valence electrons.
How many electrons does a sodium have on the outer shell?
1 Its electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s1. A good periodic table that includes electron configurations can be found under related links.
How many electrons can occupy the 4f sublevel?
The elements in period 4 that have electrons in the 3d sublevel are elements 21 - 36. Refer to the Related Links for a printable periodic table that includes electron configurations.
How many electrons go in the first second and third orbitals?
Two (2) electrons (s shell)Eight (8) electrons (2 in s, 6 in p)Eighteen (18) electrons (2 in s, 6 in p, 10 in d)The periodic table PDF at Los Alamos National Laboratory is pretty good and has the shell configurations. See related link.

How are the elements in the periods in the periodic table related?
As you go down a group, the number of electrons in the outer shell is the same.
How are all of the nonmetal elements on the periodic table related terms of ability to lose electrons?
All non-metals have either 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their octet which makes them suitable to gain electrons to achieve stability. Hence it is difficult for electrons to lose electrons.
How are all of the non metals elements on the periodic table related in terms of ability to loose electrons?
Nonmetals are closer to a full outer shell. They would rather gain electrons to complete the shell. They are unlikely to lose electrons.
Atoms of elements in a group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties this similarity is most closely related to the atoms?
number of valence electrons
How are the number of electrons in the outer level and columns of the periodic table related?
The number of electron shells is equal to the period number.
What did Dmitri Mendeleev arrange into a systematic chart?
the periodic table of elements In this table, elements having similar chemical properties are stacked up. The chemical properties are determined by how many free bonds an atom has open, which is related to how many electrons are in that element's outer shell.
How are the topics of ion formation and periodic trends related?
Periodic trends affect how certain elements on the periodic table react with each other. For example, Ionization energy tend : metals want to give off electrons , non metals want to gain electrons. This trend is essentially which elements are likely to react together and how they would react together, which is essentially ion formation (gain or loss of electrons through a reaction).
How many electrons are in the electron cloud of a nickel atom?
Nickel has 28 protons; thus, it has 28 electrons.
How is the number of energy levels in an atom related to the periodic number?
The period number is the same as the highest energy level containing electrons for the atoms in that period.
How are electron configurations related to the periodic table?
Electron configuration is the arrangement of elements according to their increasing atomic numbers whiles period is the arrangement of elements according to the increasing number of valence electrons.
