A sulfur atom has three electron shells. The electron configuration of sulfur is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴, indicating that there are two electrons in the first shell, eight in the second shell, and six in the third shell. This arrangement corresponds to sulfur's atomic number of 16.

A neutral xenon atom has 8 electron shells with 6 completely filled shells and 2 partially filled shells.


How many electron shells would be completely filled by a neutral xenon atom how many would be left over?

A neutral xenon atom has 54 electrons. Two of its electron shells would be completely filled, with 2 and 8 electrons, leaving 44 electrons in the remaining electron shells.


Which element would you expect to gain one electron in a chemical reaction?

Metals are the elements that usually lose electrons in their chemical reactions. This is because they have few electrons in their outermost shells which are easily lost.


How many electron shells would be completely filed by a neutral xenon atom how many would be left?

5 shells and no electrons would be left over.


What element has 3 full shells?

This question is unclear. If you mean 3 full electron shells and nothing else, then it would be argon. But every element after argon has 3 full electron shells also, but they also have other shells with electrons. If you mean a full 3rd energy shell such as in having 3d10 electrons, then it would be Zn but Zn also has 4s2 electrons. So, the question is a vague one.


How many electron shells would be completely filled by a neutral atom of calcium?

A neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons arranged in the electron shells. The electron configuration for calcium is 2-8-8-2. The first two shells (K and L) are completely filled, while the M shell is partially filled with 2 electrons.


Number of electron shells in silicon?

the electronic structure of silicon is [Ne] 3s2 3p2 in short form. In full it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 so there are 5 orbitals with electrons in.In the electron shell school system, you would say there are 3 electron "shells" in use, as it has a full 2/2, a full 8/8 and 4/8 of the 3rd "shell".

Which chimicals would you expect to find at the top of the diagram?

At the top of a chemical diagram, you would typically find chemicals that are less reactive or inert, such as noble gases like helium, neon, and argon. These elements have full outer electron shells and tend not to form compounds with other elements.


How many electron clouds are in iron?

Iron has 26 electrons, so it would have multiple electron clouds corresponding to different energy levels and orbitals. These electron clouds would be distributed in multiple shells around the nucleus according to the principles of quantum mechanics.
