What is the overall of an atom?

The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.


What is the number of energy shells in a carbon atom and how many electrons are in each shell?

In a Carbon atom there are two electron shells. The first shell can only hold two electrons therefore it is full ( 2 electrons in the first shell) and in the next shell there are 4 electrons. Remember: 2 e- in the first shell only up to 8 e- in the second and third shells. ("e-" usually short form for "electronsnegative charge") and some other thing to keep in mind are: Atomic # = the number of protons and the total number of electrons Atomic mass # = protons + neutrons (labled proton = p+ and neutron n0) So, Carbon is #6 on the Periodic Table of Elements therefore has 6 protons in its nucleus and 6 total electrons around it. Hope this was useful!!!! ;)


Which elements has 3 electrons in its outermost shell?

Elements having electrons in their third valence shell can be found in the third row of the periodic table (elements 11-18).


How many electrons would you expect chlorine with an atomic number of 17 to have in its outer shell?

Chlorine has 17 electrons, distributed in the following way: 2 in first shell 8 in second shell 7 in third (outer) shell Therefore Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.


How many electrons can go in the first second and third shell of an atom?

The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 while the third shell can also hold a maximum of 8.

Is the inner lithium shell full?

Yes, Lithium has the Atomic Number 3, therefore has 3 electrons. The inner 'shell' of electrons only needs 2 electrons to be full. The Li+ ion also has a full inner shell.
