How the atomic number related to the core electrons?
For a neutral (uncharged) atom, the total number of electrons is equal to the atomic number (number of protons). This would be the sum of the core electrons plus the valence electrons.
What is the total number of valence electrons in an atom with the total of thirteen protons?
13 protons would indicate the element is aluminum, Al. It has the electron configuration of1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1. In the 3rd energy level, there are 3 electrons, thus it has a total of 3 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons does have boron have?

If an atom contains 6 protons how many electrons does it have?
All of the elements in Group 16 (Group 6A) have 6 valence electrons. Their atomic numbers are 8 for oxygen, 16 for sulfur, 34 for selenium, 52 for tellurium, 84 for polonium, and 116 for ununhexium.
How many valence electrons would be found in an atom of chlorine?
A chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons.
What element has more valence electrons than silicon-fewer valence electrons than sulfur more protons than rubidium but fewer protons than tellurium?
This would be Sb - Antimony.
How many valence electrons are in a neutral iodine atom?
There would not be any. The electrons and protons would be equal so there would not be any that are leftover to use.
Does the amount of protons an element has affect chemical bonding?
Yes and no; the number of protons determine the valance number of electrons. The valence level of electrons and how full/empty it is largely determines an elements chemical behavior. I would say that valence electrons are the main determinant, but that is predetermined by protons.
Which subatomic particle is most responsible for chemical properties?
Electrons are the subatomic particles responsible for most chemical behavior (with the notable exception of nuclear chemistry), specifically the outer or valence electron shells.The valence electrons are responsible mainly. But protons are responsible for nuclear reactions.
If the atom which has a 2 valence electrons became a positive two cation how many electrons would it then possess?
It would be a group 6 element posessing 8 electrons in the outermost shell but the total number would depend on which element it was.
How the atomic number related to the core electrons?
For a neutral (uncharged) atom, the total number of electrons is equal to the atomic number (number of protons). This would be the sum of the core electrons plus the valence electrons.
What is the total number of valence electrons in an atom with the total of thirteen protons?
13 protons would indicate the element is aluminum, Al. It has the electron configuration of1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1. In the 3rd energy level, there are 3 electrons, thus it has a total of 3 valence electrons.
Does carbon have seven 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.
What diagram shows the valence electron pattern of carbon Adams?
A diagram of a typical carbon atom would show a nucleus comprised of 6 protons and 6 neutrons. It would also have two electrons in the first energy level, then 4 electrons in the second, or valence energy level (1s22s22p2.)

How many valence electrons have boron have?
3 valence electrons. As the atomic number of boron is 5, it would have 2 electrons in the first shell and 3 valence electrons in the second shell.
