It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion)
If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons.
Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
Can atoms become neutral and howAtoms are already neutral because they have both protons which are positive charged and electrons which are negatively charged. it has to be nueral because of the the same number of both negative and positive particles.
Yes, neutral unbonded atoms can complete a valence octet by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 valence electrons. This stability is known as the octet rule, which applies to many elements in the periodic table.
All of them are electrically neutral, that is, they do not need to appear in ionic form.
Three bonds need to be made, so that's six electrons shared.
Sodium oxide has the chemical formula of Na2O. To find the number of electrons in this molecule, we first need to know the number of electrons for each of its constituent atoms. The number of electrons in a neutral sodium atom is 11 and the number of electrons in a neutral oxygen atom is 8. So, after doing some simple arithmetic, we find that sodium oxide has 2*11 + 1*8 = 30 electrons per molecule.
Can atoms become neutral and howAtoms are already neutral because they have both protons which are positive charged and electrons which are negatively charged. it has to be nueral because of the the same number of both negative and positive particles.
In order to be neutral, carbon needs 14 electrons.
No, it has six electrons because its atomic number is 6. Atoms are neutral, so it would need six electrons to counteract with the charge of the six protons. 2 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
Selenium needs two more electrons.
8 valence electrons
Atoms by themselves are neutral because they contain an equal amount of electrons and protons. An ion could be negatively or positively charged, depending on whether it lost or gained an electron.
Yes, neutral unbonded atoms can complete a valence octet by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 valence electrons. This stability is known as the octet rule, which applies to many elements in the periodic table.
You would need 2 more electrons to make a calcium ion neutral, since calcium has 20 protons (+20 charge) and 18 electrons (-18 charge), resulting in an overall +2 charge. Adding 2 more electrons would balance out the charge to become neutral.
All of them are electrically neutral, that is, they do not need to appear in ionic form.
Three bonds need to be made, so that's six electrons shared.
It depends on the no. of atoms in the outermost shellIf there are p no. of atoms in the shell, then,if p4, then (8-p) electrons need to be gained for stability.
Silicone has 4 valence electros so it would need 4 hydrogen atoms to give itself an octet of valence electrons.
