electron shells are like the orbits of electrons around the protons and neutrons the atoms can have 1-3 shells
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
The innermost shell of every atom except hydrogen consists of 2 electrons.
A silicon atom has 4 electrons in its valence shell.
An atom needs electrons in its outermost shell to be stable. The number of electrons in the outer shell determines the atom's chemical properties and reactivity. If an atom's outer shell is complete, it is considered stable and less likely to react with other atoms.
your mom is found in the shell of an atom.
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
An atom doesn't have a "shell" at all. Electrons orbit an atom at different layers each called a "shell", so your answer is no.
The valence shell is the outermost shell...and an atom can only have one outer shell.
Ammonia is a molecule (NH3) and not an atom.
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
an electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
Valence shell
Valence shell
The innermost shell of every atom except hydrogen consists of 2 electrons.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
