Which element has more valence electrons (electrons in the outermost shell) than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon.?

The element that fits all these criteria is phosphorus (P). Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons, which is more than oxygen (6 valence electrons), fewer than neon (8 valence electrons), and has 15 protons, which is more than sodium (11 protons) but fewer than argon (18 protons).


How many protons and neutrons and electrons are there in oxygen?

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 protons. Given a neutrally charged atom, the atomic number will be equal to the number of electrons, so again, there are 8 electrons. Ionized oxygen, which is still the same element, has gained or lost electrons such that it has a net positive charge (more protons than electrons) or negative charge (more electrons than protons). The primary isotope of oxygen, Oxygen-16 (that number being the sum of protons and neutrons), also has 8 neutrons. Rarer isotopes have fewer or greater numbers of neutrons with the same number of protons, but for the purposes of your question, 8 neutrons is the answer.


Can carbon have 8 protons?

No, carbon can not have 8 protons. The number of protons in an element can not vary. Carbon can only have 6 protons (the atomic number). If an element has 8 protons, it is oxygen.


How man protons does oxygen have?

Oxygen has 8 protons.


How many protons does an oxygen ion have?

An element's atomic number gives its number of protons. Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus, it has 8 protons.

Element that has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?

The element in question is magnesium. It has 12 protons (more than sodium and less than argon), 2 more valence electrons than oxygen (which has 6), and 8 fewer valence electrons than neon (which has a full valence shell with 8 electrons).


Is an atom of gold made up of fewer protons than an atom of oxygen?

No, an atom of gold has more protons than an atom of oxygen. Gold has 79 protons, while oxygen has 8 protons.


What element has more valance electrons than oxygen fewer valance electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer prtons than argon?

The element that fits these criteria is sulfur. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons (more than oxygen with 6, fewer than neon with 8), 16 protons (more than sodium with 11, fewer than argon with 18).


What shape has fewer than 8 faces and fewer than 10 edges?

A shape that has fewer than 8 faces and fewer than 10 edges is a triangular prism. A triangular prism has 5 faces (2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces) and 9 edges. It meets the criteria of having fewer than 8 faces and fewer than 10 edges.


What is 8 times fewer than 4?

To find what is 8 times fewer than 4, you first determine how much 8 times fewer means in terms of subtraction. If something is "x times fewer," it means you subtract that amount from the original value. Therefore, 4 minus 8 would be -4. Thus, 8 times fewer than 4 is -4.


12C has one fewer proton than 13C?

Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are atoms of carbon, different isotopes of the element. Carbon owes its chemical identity, indeed, its elemental identity, to the number of protons in its nucleus. There are 6 of them. No more, no less. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 14 has fewer protons than neutrons.


What number has 8 thousands 6 fewer than thousands 2 fewer than thousands and 4 more units than hundreds?

I think the number that has 8 thousands 6 fewer than thousands 2 fewer than the thousands and four more units than hundreds is 8624.

What has more faces than an octahedron but fewer faces than an icosahedron?

A shape that has more faces than an octahedron (which has 8 faces) but fewer faces than an icosahedron (which has 20 faces) is a dodecahedron. A dodecahedron has 12 faces, satisfying the condition of having more than 8 and fewer than 20 faces.
