How many electrons in a neutral atom of Xenon?
The atomic number of Xenon is 54. This means the atom contains 54 protons. In order to form a neutral atom, the positive charge from the protons and the negative charge from the electrons must cancel out. In order to be neutral the atom must have 54 electrons.
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?
Rubidium is a neutral atom in its elemental form. The rubidium ion, found in rubidium compounds, is smaller than a neutral rubidium atom.
Would an atom with 3 electrons in level M tend to gain or lose electrons?
That depends on the element. Any such atom with more than four protons will gain electrons to become electrically neutral. If that atoms has four protons (beryllium) then it will be able to form a stable ion with two electrons. If it is left with three electrons it will either gain an electron to form a neutral atom or, if in the presence of an oxidizing substance, lose an electron to form an ion. If the atom has three protons (lithium) it will form a stable, neutral atom with three electrons but will lose one electron when it reacts to form a stable ion. If that atom has two protons (helium) then it will only be stable with two electrons and will gain or lose electrons accordingly to maintain that number. If the atom has one proton (hydrogen) then it will tend to share electrons rather than gaining or losing them. It forms a neutral atom with one electron but can form an ion with two. It has no stable configuration with three electrons.
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
Does a oxygen atom have valence electrons?
No, oxygen has 8 electrons in general (in neutral form) but only has 6 valence electrons.

Rubidium is a neutral atom in its elemental form. The rubidium ion, found in rubidium compounds, is smaller than a neutral rubidium atom.
Which is larger (a) a cation or the neutral atom from which it forms?
The neutral metal atom is larger than its cation, because to form a cation, the valence energy level of electrons is lost, reducing its radius.

How many valance electrons does Au have?
Au, gold, is atom number 79, so in its (neutral) elemental form it has 79 electrons.
How many electrons are present in a neutral atom with an atomic number of eight?
There are eight electrons in the neutral form of the atom with the atomic number eight (oxygen or O). --- Answer 2: 8. The atomic number represents the number of protons (positive charge) in an atom. For the atom to have a neutral charge, there must be 8 negative charges in the shells around the nucleus of the atom.
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
What conditions make a neutral atom?
A neutral atom is an atom that does not have a positive or negative charge. These ions are highly reactive and usually dont stay in their ionic form very long. Some common neutral atoms are the noble gasses which dont readily lose or gain electrons.
How many valence electrons does a single neutral chlorine atom have?
7, as does an atom of any halogen (element in column 17 of a wide form periodic table.)
How does the size of a cation compare with the size of the neutral atom from which it is formed?
An ion is an atom that carries a charge because it has more or less electrons than its neutral form. An electron weighs less than 0.06% of a proton and doesn't take up any real space, therefore an ion is not different in size than its neutral atom.
Does a oxygen atom have valence electrons?
No, oxygen has 8 electrons in general (in neutral form) but only has 6 valence electrons.
Determine the number of electrons in an atom of Iridium?
In neutral form, iridium should have 77 electrons. It also has 77 protons due to the fact that its atomic number is 77.
