Does neon or oxygen have more valence electrons?

Neon has more valence electrons than oxygen. Neon has a full outer shell with 8 valence electrons, while oxygen typically has 6 valence electrons.


How many electrons make up neon?

Neon has 10 electrons. It has an atomic number of 10, which corresponds to the number of protons (and therefore electrons) in a neutral atom of neon.


Does a neon-22 atom have 2 more electrons than a neon-20 atom?

No, a neon-22 atom has the same number of electrons as a neon-20 atom, which is 10 electrons. The difference between neon-22 and neon-20 lies in their number of neutrons, with neon-22 having 12 neutrons and neon-20 having 10 neutrons.


what element has 10 protons 10 electrons and 12 neutrons?

The element with 10 protons is neon (atomic number 10). Since the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, neon also has 10 electrons. With 12 neutrons, the isotope of neon described is neon-22.


Why oxygen is a fairly reactive element while neon is not?

Oxygen is reactive because it needs to gain two more electrons to fill its outermost shell while neon's outermost shell is completely full of electrons. In more technical terms, neon has an octet of electrons whcih makes it inert. Neon forms no known compounds. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and reacts to "achieve" the octet. This can be by either forming ionic bonds where it gains two electrons to form the oxide ion, O2- or covalently where it shares electrons, as in water H2O where oxygen has shares two electrons with each hydrogen.

Which one has more electrons neon-10 or neon-12?

Neon-10 has more electrons because neon-10 has 10 electrons, while neon-12 has 10 electrons. The number after the element name indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, not the number of electrons.


What is the element whose atom has 8 electrons when neutral?

The number of electrons corresponds to the "index" number of the element in the periodic table. The 8th element is Oxygen, which has 8 atoms when neutral. That didnt answer the question. ANSWER Neon has 8 electrons :)


What noble gas is isoelectronic to oxygen?

Neon (Ne, atom number 10, noble gas in period 2) has the same electron configuration as O2- ion; Oxygen as in noble gas configuration has taken up 2 electrons. O : 1s2, 2s2, 2p4 O2-:1s2, 2s2, 2p6 Ne :1s2, 2s2, 2p6

What noble gas has same electron arrangement as the oxide ion?

Neon, if you are talking about an oxygen ion.


Which element have 10 electrons and 10 neutrons?

The element with 10 electrons and 10 neutrons is Neon. Neon has the atomic number 10, which corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, and its most common stable isotope has 10 neutrons.


How many protons electrons and valence elecrons does neon have?

Neon's atomic number is 10. Thus, neutral neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons. Since neon is a noble gas, it has 8 valence electrons.


How protons and electrons in neon?

In an atom, 10 protons and 10 electrons. (# of protons = atomic number) =)
