Each atom on the Periodic Table has a different number of electrons which corresponds to its element number. The electrons are located in different atomic orbitals, or electron clouds, labeled s, p, d, and f. The numbers of electrons within each orbital is determined by quantum mechanical rules, but can easily be looked up in a table of electron configurations.

n=1, total 2 (1s2)
n=2 total 8 2s2, 2p6
n=3; total 18 3s2, 3p6, 3d10

How many electrons are in an electron cloud of chlorine atom?
17
How many electrons does the element germanium have in its electron cloud?
7
How many electrons can be the first energy level in the electron cloud hold?
two
How many electrons can the first electron cloud hold?
Your question is a bit vague, but if you are enquiring about the first electron shell in an atom, it holds a maximum of two electrons.
The electron cloud contains which atomic particles?
how many particles are in a electron cloud? Theres the neutron, proton, and electron...just like any regular atom and to answer ther second question, it depends on what atom your talking about. For example, a Hydrogen Atom has two electron, but there rotating is so fast that its hard to pin-point where exactly it is. Try to imagine it as a fan, the wings are the electrons but when it rotates it looks like one single mass... hopefully that helps
How many electrons are there in each electron cloud for neon?
How am i supposed 2 no? im the 1 who asked the question!
How many electrons does Boron have in a electron cloud?
6
How many electrons in the electron cloud does argon have?
18
How many electrons maximum can be in one orbital?
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
What charge does the electron cloud of every atom have?
In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.
How many electrons are in the electron cloud of the element carbon?

How many electrons are in the nucleus of the element tin?
None, electrons are in the electron cloud, not the nucleus
How many electrons go on the fourth ring of the electron cloud in an atom?
The first ring of the electron cloud holds two electrons. All rings following it hold eight.
Does a electron cloud have a specific size?
It is impossible to know exactly where an electron is. Thus, the size of an electron cloud can be given only in terms of probability. Even then, the size of the electron cloud depends on how many electrons an atom possesses.
How many electrons does fluorine have located in the electron cloud?
Fluorine's atomic number is 9. Thus, fluorine has 9 protons and 9 electrons. As with every atom, all 9 of fluorine's electrons are found in the electron cloud.
