What element on the periodic table has 6 electrons?

Carbon has 6 electrons. You can tell because its atomic number is 6, and atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the numbers of protons and electrons are equal.


How do you find number of electrons in periodic table or how do you calculate the number of electrons?

A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The atomic numbers on the periodic table for each element are the number of protons. So, look up the element on the periodic table, note its atomic number, and you will then know the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of that element. For example, magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12. So a neutral Mg atom would have 12 protons and 12 electrons.


How do you find electrons in elements on the periodic table?

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.


Why do elements within a periodic the periodic table have different properties?

They have different numbers of valance electrons...


What are the group numbers and the generic outer electron configurations for a neutral atom?

Group numbers are used in the periodic table to indicate the number of valence electrons in an element. The generic outer electron configuration for a neutral atom can be determined by looking at the group number: Group 1 elements have 1 valence electron and end in s1, group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons and end in s2, group 13 elements end in s2p1, etc.

What 2 numbers are shown in tye periodic table for each element?

The number above the symbol is the atomic number, or the number of protons in the nucleus of one atom of the element. It is this number by which they organized the periodic table. If this number changes so does the identity of the element. In a balanced atom this number will also be the number of electrons in the electron cloud. The number below is the atomic mass number, or the average number of particles (protons plus neutrons) in the nucleus. Since the number of neutrons can change this number must be given as an average so it may contain a decimal.


How many electrons does element have?

What is the law called that states the repeating chemical and physical properties of elements change periodically with the atomic numbers of the elements?

An element's atomic number is equal to the amount of electrons or protons in an atom of that element. When an atomic number increases or decreases, the amount of electrons is changing.


What element has a 42 numbers for electrons?

Molybdenum is the element that has 42 electrons.


What element on the periodic table has 6 electrons?

Carbon has 6 electrons. You can tell because its atomic number is 6, and atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the numbers of protons and electrons are equal.


What is atomic numbers?

Atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It determines the identity of an element and is used to organize elements on the periodic table. Each element has a unique atomic number.

A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The atomic numbers on the periodic table for each element are the number of protons. So, look up the element on the periodic table, note its atomic number, and you will then know the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of that element. For example, magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12. So a neutral Mg atom would have 12 protons and 12 electrons.


What shows the number of electrons in the outer energy level?

On the periodic table, for each element there is a column of 1 to 7 numbers on the right side, these numbers show the number of electrons in each shell, or layer, The bottom number is the number of electrons in the outermost layer

How can you use the periodic table to find the amount of protons and electrons for an element?

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and the elements are arranged according to their atomic numbers from 1 to 118. A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as protons.
