What causes electrons to flow through a conductor?

There are 1 to 3 electrons in outer orbit of a conductor witch the element wants to give away in order to have inner orbit complete at the cost of getting positive charge when forced by the electric voltage.If outer orbit have 4 electrons like carbon,silicon or germanium, it acts as a semiconductor. And if outer orbit have more than 5 electrons, it will resist electron flow.


How many electrons does the element B have in its outer shell?

Boron has 3 electrons in the outer shell and 2 electrons in the inner.

What neutral atom is isoelectronic with nitrogen?

Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons in total. 2 in its first orbit and 5 in its second orbit (only has two orbits because it is in the second period of the periodic table). For a full, outer shell/orbit (8 electrons), it needs 3 more electrons.5+3 = 8Nitrogen has a charge of 3- which means it needs 3more electrons. If you add how many electrons it has gainedto the total number of electrons Nitrogen has (7) then you will find the element it is isoelectronic with.7+3 = 10Now find the element with 10 electrons (# of electrons = # of protons & # of protons = the atomic number of an element).Neon (Ne) on the periodic table has an atomic number of 10 so therefore, Ne/Neon is the isoelectronic atom with Nitrogen.


How many electrons does a aluminum atom lose to form an ion?

an aluminum atom will lose the 3 electrons on its outer shell 2 for an aluminum ion.


Why nitrogen is trivalent?

Because it contain 3 unpaired electrons in its outer most orbit which incolve in bond formation

How many element do the elements belonging two group IIIA have in there outermost shell?

Group 3 is part of the transition metal series. This means that the number of outer shell electrons the element has will depend on its oxidation state.


What is the number of valence electrons in the outer shell of each element of group 3?

3: For periodic columns 1 through 3, the number of valence electrons is the same as the number of the periodic column.


Which period contains the element silicon?

The element Silicon (Si) is in the third Period on the Periodic Table. It is also the second element in Group 14(4) - The Carbon Family. It has 14 electrons in 3 shells, with 4 electrons in the outer shell.


How many valence electrons does carbon want?

every element wants to fill the outer shell. That means if it is at 5 electrons it wants to get to 8. If it is at 3, it wants to get to 0.


Which element is113?

The element with atomic number 113 is Ununtrium (Uut). It has been observed but not officially discovered. It is said to have 113 electrons on 7 shells with 3 electrons in the outer shell. It would be synthetic and highly radioactive.
