Protons determine the identity and will never change. If you change the protons you change the element. On the Periodic Table the single digit number beside of the element tells you the number of protons. By looking up 8 on your periodic table you are able to determine that it is Oxygen. However, for you question you mentioned 2 electrons in the first and 8 in the next. If you are referring to the orbits around the nucleus this means that you have two more electrons than you do protons which means you have an ion. Your atom is still Oxygen but it is written like this O-2. The negative two tells you that you have two more electrons than you do protons.

How many protons neutrons shells and electrons are in nickel?

Nickel has 28 protons and electrons. The number of neutrons in nickel can vary, as it has multiple isotopes. Nickel has 4 electron shells, with electrons distributed as follows: 2 in the first shell, 8 in the second shell, 16 in the third shell, and 2 in the fourth shell.


What are the fundamental parts of an atom?

There's the nucleus in the middle, and then an electron cloud surrounding it. there are different levels to the cloud. 2 electrons can fit in the first level, 8 in the second, and there's more in the link below. Electrons are negatively charged. In the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons. Neutrons are neutral, and protons are positively charged. There are the same amount of protons as electrons. If there is a different amount of neutrons than protons, the atom is called an isotope. I have a link of an image that explains some of this (see Related Link below).


Atoms are positively charged particles that move around electrons?

No. First, atoms have no overall charge (they are electrically neutral) because they have the same number of protons and electrons. Second, there are protons, neutrons and electrons within the atom, and they are collectively termed sub-atomic particles. It is the electrons that move around the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are).


How do you make a nucleus of the atomic structure of neon?

Neon, with an atomic number of 10, and an atomic mass of roughly 20, will require 10 protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons will be inside the nucleus, or the center of the atom. The electrons will be outside the nucleus in the electron cloud, where a first ring or level will hold 2 and the second will hold 8.


How do you know the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the 1st 20 elements?

Look at the periodic table.The bottom number on an element is the number of protons. The number of electrons will be the same. Subtract the bottom number from the top number to get the number of neutrons. e.g: 103 Rh 45 Protons= 45 Electrons= 45 Neutrons= 58 (103-45)

How does protons nuetrons and electrons differ?

All have spin one-half. Protons have a charge of positive one; electrons, negative one; neutrons, neutral. Protons and neutrons have about the same mass; electrons are much less massive. Protons and neutrons have an internal structure -- ie, they are composed of quarks -- while electrons are just themselves. The first two are "hadrons" and the latter is a "lepton."

How many protons electrons and neutrons do Caesium have?

Caesium is in the first raw. Atomic number of it is 55. So it has 55 protons.

How can you make a model of bohr's model?

You put the number of protons and neutrons in the middle of the first circle (nucleus). The number of protons and electrons is the Atomic number. Round the atomic mass and subtract it by the number of protons and you have your neutrons. Draw another circle (shell) around the first one. You can only put up to two electrons in the first one. The next two circles you draw can hold up to 8. The last shell can hold 18. EG: Neon There are ten protons, neutrons and electrons. Draw the nucleus first, then write the number of protons and neutrons inside. Draw a shell around the nucleus and place two electrons side by side. Draw another shell around the first one and draw eight electrons around it.

Which came first atoms or electrons?

Of the two, electrons. (Protons had to form, perhaps from quarks, before the first atoms could form and the temperature had to be cool enough for protons and electrons to come together to form hydrogen.)
