The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons or the atomic number. If the element is an ion of e.g O+2, you would take away 2 from the atomic number and if it is O-2, you would add two electrons

∙ 12y agoFirst you would calculate the number of protons...
the number of protons = the total mass number
then the number of protons should = the nummber of electrons(unless their is a number in front of the element like +1)
therefore= # of protons = # of electrons

What does the 8 mean in the chemical formula for sulfur?
8 means the number of electrons on the second valence layer.
Formula for calculating the maximum number of electrons in a shell of an atom?
Well the formula for calculating the maximum amount of electrons that can be held in a shell of an atom is: 2(n)2 N being the shell number. For example: 2(1)2= 2 (the maximum amount of electrons for shell number 1)
Chemical Formula for iron III nitrite?
FeN , because the +3 electrons from the Iron (Fe) ion and the - 3 electrons from the Nitride (N) cancel each other out making it FeN
What is the chemical formula for electricty?
Electricity is not a chemical and it does not have a chemical formula. Electric current consists of moving electrons; static electricity consists of unmoving electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 6s subshell?
6th energy level can hold 72 electrons. (has s,p,d,f,g, and h subshells)
What formula can you use to get the number of electrons?
by counting them
What is the formula for atomic mass?
number of electrons
What is Formula for atomic mass?
number of electrons
What is the formula for valency?
The number of electrons needed to lose or gain is its Valency
How many protons electrons and neutrons are in the formula zinc and chlorine?
Zinc chloride has the chemical formula ZnCl2.The total number of protons is 64; the total number of electrons is also 64.The number of neutrons depends on the isotopes of Zn and Cl.
What is the maximum number of electrons in second electron level?
The maximum number is 8 electrons in the second shell.
The total number of electrons inan electron shell is reepresented by the formula 2n . is this correc?
The maximum number of electrons in a shell / energy level is given by 2n2.
An electron dot diagram shows an atoms number of?
Electron dot formula tells the number of valence electrons
How many electrons in a quantum number n3?
Use the formula 2n2. In this case n = 3, so 2(32) = 18. The sublevels and number of electrons in each are 3s23p63d10, for a total of 18 electrons.
How many electrons on the fifth orbit?
The formula to determine the number of electrons in an energy level is 2n2, where n is the number of the energy level. For the fifth energy level, n=5. So the total number of electrons possible in the fifth energy level is 2(52) = 50.
What does the 8 mean in the chemical formula for sulfur?
8 means the number of electrons on the second valence layer.
What is the maximum number of electrons in the 2px orbital of an atom?
When n=2, you have an s orbital with 2 electrons, and you have 3 p orbitals each with 2 electrons (total of 6). So, total number of electrons for n=2 is 8 electrons.
