How many protons neutrons and electrons does iodine-122 have?

The isotope iodine-122 has 53 protons and electrons and 69 neutrons.


Iodine with 53 protrons and how many electrons?

Iodine has 53 protons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, iodine also has 53 electrons. This balance of protons and electrons ensures that the atom is electrically neutral.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in iodine?

Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 protons and, in a neutral atom, also 53 electrons. The most common isotope of iodine, iodine-127, has 74 neutrons (127 - 53 = 74). Therefore, in a neutral iodine-127 atom, there are 53 protons, 53 electrons, and 74 neutrons.


How many orbitals contain electrons in iodine?

Iodine has a total of 7 electron shells, with the electron configuration of [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁵. In its ground state, iodine has electrons in the following orbitals: 5s, 5p, 4d, and 4p. Specifically, the orbitals that contain electrons are the 4d (10 electrons), 5s (2 electrons), and 5p (5 electrons), totaling 3 different types of orbitals with electrons. Thus, there are 3 distinct orbital types containing electrons in iodine.


How many valence electrons are around the central iodine atom?

Iodine is in group 17 of the periodic table, which means it has seven valence electrons. When iodine is the central atom in a molecule, it typically retains all seven of its valence electrons unless it forms bonds with other atoms. In such cases, some of these electrons are shared with surrounding atoms, but the total number of valence electrons associated with the iodine remains seven.
