Neon atom number 10:
first shell (K) : 2 electrons
second shell (L): 8 electrons
all shells being filled up completely
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
An atom of boron has 3 paired electrons. Boron has 5 electrons in its neutral state, with 2 electrons in the first shell and 3 paired electrons in the second shell.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
In an oxygen atom with 2 electron shells and 6 covalent bonds, there are 8 electrons in total. The first electron shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 6 electrons, giving a total of 8 electrons in the atom.
The neutral atom is Carbon, but other ions can have only 6 electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
That neutral silicon atom has four electrons in its valence shell.
An atom of boron has 3 paired electrons. Boron has 5 electrons in its neutral state, with 2 electrons in the first shell and 3 paired electrons in the second shell.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
In an oxygen atom with 2 electron shells and 6 covalent bonds, there are 8 electrons in total. The first electron shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 6 electrons, giving a total of 8 electrons in the atom.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Phosphorus has 10 more electrons. A neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons, 3 in the outer 3p shell There are 5 electrons in a neutral atom of boron, 1 in the outer 2p shell.
Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
2 electrons orbit in the outer shell. If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
A neutral atom of beryllium has 4 electrons. In a neutral atom, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal. An element's atomic number is the number of protons.
