Zirconium (Zr) is on the 5th row of the Periodic Table, in the 2nd column of the transitional metals, so its first 4 electron shells are full (like Kr), and the 5s orbital is full with 2, and the 4d shell has the last 2. The configuration is:

1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d2. (That adds up to 40, Zr's atomic number!)

How many electrons are in each shell around the nucleus of a Zr?

In a Zirconium (Zr) atom, the electron configuration is [Kr] 5s2 4d2. This means there are 2 electrons in the outermost shell (5s) and 2 electrons in the second outermost shell (4d), for a total of 4 electrons in the shells around the nucleus.

What is the difference between effective valence electron and outer shell count?

Number of electrons in outer shell determines thechemical nature of the element and is unique per element. Effective Valence electrons is a calculated ratio between two concentrations of electrons. if n=resisitivity/(e*driftMobility) and n_at=density*Avogadro#/AtomicMass. Effective valence electrons is then n/n_at. Rounding this number should agree with outer shell electrons as predicted from the periodic table.

How many electrons are in the outer shell of boron?

Boron has 5 electrons per atom. Boron's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p1. Thus, it has 3 electrons in its outer shell.


What is the arrangement of electrons in each element per energy level?

Modern models suggest that there is not a fixed relationship between the various electrons in a given shell. The electrons conform to a probability model in their positioning. [And this may go a little way to explaining radioactivity?]


How many electrons does one atom of astatine have in its outer shell?

Electrons per shell in astatine: 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 7.


What is the first element that needs the third shell?

Sodium, assuming "first" means "first in the periodic table", i.e. the one with fewest electrons per atom. The first shell holds 2 electrons, and the second holds another 8. So the element with atomic number 11 is the first one to need the third shell, and that's sodium.
