If you mean how many electrons are required for an atom of chlorine to have no charge, the answer is 17 as chlorine has an atomic of 17 so therefore has 17 protons. These protons have a positive charge so it requires 17 negatively charged electrons in order to "balance" the atom.
A chloride anion contains eight outer shell electrons, one more than the seven outer shell electrons found in a chlorine atom.
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
There are 3 electrons in the outermost shell of an aluminum atom, as it has atomic number 13.
The chloride ion (Cl-) has 8 electrons on the outermost energy level.
The outer shell of electrons of an atom determines its chemical properties and reactivity. The number of electrons in the outer shell also determines the atom's ability to form bonds with other atoms.
The chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost electron shell. This makes it easier for chlorine to gain one electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, forming a chloride ion.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
In any atom, the valence electrons are located in the outermost shell. Chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in the 3rd electron shell. Chlroine is in the third row of the periodic chart, so its 3rd shell is the valence shell, and it is in the next to last column, 7A, so it has 7 electrons in that 3rd shell.
There is no Iodone atom, there is however an Iodine atom that has seven valence electrons or seven electrons in outermost shell.
valence electrons
Electrons in the outermost energy shell of an atom are called valence electrons.
The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.
Valence electrons are in the outermost shell of an atom.
they are referred as valence electrons. These are the electrons in outermost shell.
Electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
