Electrons are the prime observers. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle tells us that a quantum system is in a superposition state until it is observed. Many people have come to believe that this observer must be a human or a living creature but this is not the case. Electrons throughout the universe are the front line observers that collapse the waveform of atomic nuclei which are quantum systems. All of the matter you see around you are quantum systems whose waveforms had been collapsed by one or more electrons. So if you remove all of the electrons from lets say, a pound of rock or any matter, that masses superposition state is returned and you have a volume of what is known as a plasma. Yes the kind of plasma similar to that found in your plasma TV or in the sun.

Is it true that the number of electrons in an element is the same for all neutral atom of that element?

Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.


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.


Does all gold in nature have electrons?

Gold has lots of electrons. All elements have electrons, but gold, a heavy element, has more than most.


How many electrons will an element in group 2 of the periodic table have?

That varies, element #3 will have 3, element 4 will have 4, etc. However, they all have 2 valence electrons.


Are electrons the smallest particle of an element that retains the original characteristics of the element?

Yes, electrons are the smallest subatomic particle of an element and they play a key role in determining the element's chemical properties. However, while electrons are essential for defining an element's characteristics, they alone do not fully encapsulate all of an element's properties.


What element in the carbon family has 4 valence electrons?

All of them. They all have valence electrons, of ns2, np2


What do all atoms of an element have?

They all have protons and electrons. And all but hydrogen have neutrons as well. The number of protons is an element's atomic number. Assuming the atom is neutral, this will also be the number of electrons. The number of neutrons can vary among isotopes of the same element.


What happens to electrons when charged?

All electrons are charged with a negative charge, -1.


All of the electrons in this element are spin-paired?

The element has an even number of electrons since they are all spin-paired. This suggests the element is likely in a diamagnetic state, where all the electrons are paired and the material is weakly repelled by a magnetic field.


Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?

All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.


How many electrons are outside the nucleus?

The number of electrons outside the nucleus depends on the atomic number of the element. For neutral atoms, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus to maintain a balanced charge.


What element has 2 protons in all?

Helium 2 protons 2 electrons
