Every "neutral" (uncharged, non-ionized) atom has the same number of electrons as protons, i.e. at least one in the case of hydrogen. Only ionized atoms can have no electrons, as positive ions.

How many electrons do silicon atoms have?

14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.


Covalent bonding of one atom to another is the result of?

Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons between atoms creates a bond that holds the atoms together in a molecule.


What is the general location of the electrons in a covalent bond?

In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two atoms and are located in the overlapping region of the orbitals of the bonded atoms. This shared electron density creates a bond that holds the atoms together.


When 2 atoms share electrons what is that called?

They share electrons to form a chemical bond.


Describe the general location of electrons in a covalent bond?

In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two atoms to create a stable bond. These electrons are found in the overlapping region of the orbitals of the bonded atoms, forming a "cloud" of electron density that helps hold the atoms together.


How does the number of separate electrons shown for the group 2 metal atoms compare to the number of atoms?

The number of separate electrons for group 2 metal atoms is twice the number of atoms. This is because each group 2 metal atom typically loses two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


How many protons and electrons are there in molecule of H2O2?

In a molecule of H2O2, there are 2 protons and 2 electrons from the two hydrogen atoms, and 4 protons and 4 electrons from the two oxygen atoms, making a total of 6 protons and 6 electrons.


Atoms with 1 or 2 electrons on their valence level tend to gain?

more electrons because all atoms want to be like noble gases and will either give or take electrons to obtain 8 electrons so atoms with either 1 or 2 electrons would wither give off 1 or 2 electrons depending on how many then had


What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?

se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons


What is the charge of Cr in Cr2O72?

Since oxygen atoms can only accept two electrons, the balance of charges for the overall neutral molecule suggests that the two chromium atoms must each have donated half of the electrons to the oxygen atoms. Therefore, the total number of electrons required for all three oxygen atoms to reach a noble gas configuration is 3 atoms*2 electrons/atom=6 electrons Dividing this up between the two chromium atoms: 6 electrons/2 atoms=3 electrons/atom Therefore, each chromium atom bears a positive charge (since it donated electrons) of 3+.


How many electrons are associated with a single covalent bond between two atoms?

A single covalent bond between two atoms has 2 electrons.


How where atoms discovered to be made of electrons?

1. Atoms are made from the atomic nucleus (protons plus neutrons) and electrons.2. For the discovery of electrons is credited J. J. Thomson in 1897.
