How many electrons are in a radium atom?

Answer 1

The number of electrons in a radium atom is usually 88. If it goes though bonding however, it will tend to lose those two outer electrons, and become a radium ion. If it bonds with oxygen, which has 6 outer electrons, it will lose the two outer electrons it has to become a radium ion with a full outer level of 86 electrons, and oxygen will get a complete outer level of 8 electrons. Radium will become Ra2+, a typical radium ion, also known as Radium 86, as it loses 2 electrons.

Answer 2

Radon, or Rn, is a period 6 noble gas. It's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p6. Thus, because its outermost shell is the 6th shell, radon has 8 valence electrons.

Answer 3

There are many isotopes of radon but they all have 86 protons and thus 86 electrons too.

Answer 4

Radon is a non metal element. There are 86 electrons in a single atom.

Answer 5

There are 86 electrons in the Radon element.

Answer 6

The nucleus of radon contain 86 electrons.

Answer 7

That will depend on its ionization state. Without knowing that this question cannot be answered.

Answer 8

A radium atom typically has 88 electrons.

Answer 9

eight
