This is a somewhat difficult question to answer without a picture but for the left (first) two columns of the Periodic Table (S Block) and the right (last) six columns (P block) the number of energy levels is the row number of where that atom is on a periodic table (these blocks together are known as the representative elements). For the middle part (transition elements, or D block) the number of energy levels is equal to the row number the element is in, minus one. So for example, Lithium (Li) has two energy levels. In another example, Iron (Fe) has three energy levels. For the inner-transition elements (a.k.a. the lanthanide and actinide, or F block) the number of energy levels is the row number (Lan - row 6, Act - row 7), minus two. So in example, Uranium (U) has 5 energy levels).

What shows the number of electrons in the outer energy level?

On the periodic table, for each element there is a column of 1 to 7 numbers on the right side, these numbers show the number of electrons in each shell, or layer, The bottom number is the number of electrons in the outermost layer


How many electrons are in the third energy level for each element?

I assume you mean for each atom. If I remember correctly, the shells go 2, 8, then 18 on the third layer.


Are the number of electrons different from every atom of every element?

Each element has a different number of electrons. All atoms of that element have the same number of electrons. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.


How can you determine the number relate to the protons and electrons of an element?

The number of protons in an element is determined by its atomic number, which is the same as the number of electrons in a neutral atom. This information can be found on the periodic table for each element.


How is the element's period related to the number of energy levels over which its electrons are spread?

The element's period indicates the number of energy levels or electron shells that its electrons occupy. Each period corresponds to a new energy level being filled by electrons. Moving from left to right across a period, the number of energy levels increases by one as you go from one element to the next.


Each element in the nitrogen group has what electrons in the outer level?

Phosphorous


How many electrons does each element need to be stable on its outside level?

How many protons and electrons are in element with an atomic number?

An element's atomic number is equal to the amount of protons in that element. Each atom has a different number of protons and electrons present in their make-up.


What is the atomic number of an element is for?

The atomic number of an element declares its number of protons as well as the number of electrons which are identical to each other.


What does electron configuration tell you about an element?

Electron configuration tells you how electrons are arranged in an atom's energy levels. It provides information on the number of electrons in each energy level and helps predict an element's chemical properties and reactivity. By understanding electron configuration, you can determine an element's potential to form bonds with other elements.


What is the top number mean in each element?

The top number in each element represents the atomic number of the element, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines the element's chemical properties and its unique identity on the periodic table.


Who determined the number of protons in each element?

The number of protons in each element is determined by the atomic number of the element. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. This number is unique to each element and is determined by the arrangement of electrons and protons in the atom.
