The atomic number for hydrogen (H) is 1 in the Periodic Table of Elements and it has that number of electrons (Valence & otherwise). Hence H2O for water since Oxygen O needs 2 electrons added to its valence electrons to make the stable compound WATER.

Two electrons will fill a hydrogen's outer, or valence, shell.


How many electrons are needed in hydrogen helium carbon and oxygen to fill their respective valence shells?

Hydrogen has one electron and needs one more. Helium has two electrons and has filled shell. Carbon needs four more electrons to fill the valence shell Oxygen needs two more electrons to fill the valence shell


How many electrons does each hydrogen atom have in its valence shell?

Hydrogen doesn't really have a valence shell. It has one electron only.


How many electrons are there in the valence shell of a nitrogen atom?

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Its atomic number is 7 therefore it has a total of 7 electrons. If you put this in a Bohr-Rutherford Diagram, there would be 2 electrons in the first shell (Helium structure) and 5 electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in an element's outermost shell is its number of valence electrons.


How many electrons in the outer shell does hydrogen ion have?

no electron is present in the outer most shell of hydrogen ion


What determines chemical bonding in an element?

Atoms hold their electrons in valence shells, but each shell only holds so many electrons. If an atom's outer valence shell is full, it's inert (does not form bonds). If it's outer shell isn't full, then it will form bonds.


How many valence electrons are in a hydrogen ion?

It depends on what kind of ion:If it's a cation (H+) then there is 1 proton and 0 electrons, so zero.If it's an anion (H-) then there is 1 proton and 2 electrons, so 2 (and that shell is full).


Outer shell electrons is known as?

The outer shell is called the valence shell


How many electrons are needed to complete valence shell of fluorine atom?

Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell, and it needs 1 more electron to complete its valence shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons.


The number of electrons in a hydrogen?

hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell


What is a valence shell is?

The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.
