What is an outer shell of an element?
The outer shell is the valence electrons and they are very loosely bound to the nucleus - less force by the nucleus on the valence electrons, so valence shell's electrons are exchanged first in any reaction.Valence
What is a quantum shell?
The quantum shell or the principle shell (represented by an integer known as the principle quantum number, n) are orbits found in an atom. It is arranged as n=1, n=2, and so forth, n=1 being closest to the nucleus. As the numbers increase, so do the energy. Each quantum shell is an orbit, and in the orbits exist sub-orbitals. Please see sub-orbitals for more details.
What is electronic shells?
A shell surrounding the nucleus of an atom containing electrons.
Atom x has 8 protons 8 neutrons in the nucleus two electrons in the first shell and eight electrons in the next shell this atom is?
Your information is inconsistant: Either this is a normal O16 with only 6 electrons in the outer shell, or this is a negative oxygen ion. Go with choice #1. this guy must have missed the 2 electrons in the first shell, it can't be a normal O16 atom because there are more electrons than protons, so it is a negative ion
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 number of electrons that can be held in first orbit closest to the nucleus?
The orbit or electron shell closest to the nucleus is the 1s sub-shell. It can hold 2 electrons before the 2s sub-shell is filled. H and He have their electrons in this shell (the 1s)
How many electrons can the shell closest to nucleus hold?
The shell closest to the nucleus of an atom can only hold up to two electrons.
How many electrons are in the first shell of an atom of oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
How many particles of the part that orbits the nucleus is on the shell closet to the center of the atom?
The shell closest to the nucleus of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, which are the negatively charged particles orbiting the positively charged nucleus. These electrons occupy the first energy level or shell. Beyond this first shell, additional shells can hold more electrons, but the innermost shell is limited to just 2 particles.
What is the correct Lewis structure for an Nitrogen atom?
Two electrons in the first shell (closest to the nucleus), then five on the next shell out, usually shown as a pair and 3 singles.
What is the meaning of K electron shell?
K is the old symbol for the first electron shell in atoms (near the nucleus). The K shell contain max. 2 electrons.
What is the lowest energy main shell that surround the molecules?
The lowest energy main shell that surrounds molecules is the first main shell, also known as the K shell. It is closest to the nucleus and can hold up to 2 electrons.
Number of electrons held closet to nucleus?
2 electrons are held closest to the nucleus, after that the maximum per shell is eight.
Why K shell shields the nucleus the most?
k shell is nearest to the nucleus, but it cannot be said that it shields the nucleus MOST.
Can the energy level closest to the nucleus hold three or more electron?
No, the energy level closest to the nucleus, known as the first energy level or shell, can hold a maximum of only two electrons. This limit is due to the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously, and the specific orbital configurations of the first shell. Higher energy levels can hold more electrons, but the first shell remains restricted to two.
Why does k shell shields the nucleus the most?
The K shell is closest to the nucleus and has the lowest energy level of all electron shells. Electrons in the K shell experience a stronger electrostatic attraction to the positively charged nucleus, which results in better shielding of the nucleus compared to electrons in higher energy shells.
How many electrons can the first shell hold?
The first electron shell, or energy level only holds 2 electrons. It is the smallest and closest energy level to the atom's nucleus. Hydrogen and helium are the only two elements to have electrons in just the first shell.
