How many electrons are in an atom?

It depends on the element. However in the case of single atoms, the number of electrons is the same as the atomic number. Some examples are: Hydrogen - 1 electron Carbon - 6 electrons Iron - 26 electrons Gold - 79 electrons


The element carbon has 6 electrons how many protons does it have?

Carbon has 6 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, which is why carbon, with 6 electrons, also has 6 protons. This is what defines it as the element carbon on the periodic table.


How many atoms in the element carbon?

Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.


What element on the periodic table has 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons?

Only carbon has 6 protons. Specifically, this is a neutral atom of the isotope 12C.


What the atomic number in a element refers to?

The atomic number of an element is given based on the number of protons in the nucleus of all the atoms of that particular element. This applies regardless of the number of neutrons or electrons in any atom of that element. Atoms are initially classified according to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and this will identify which element the atom is. We know that the number of neutrons a given atom of any element can vary, and these will be classified as isotopes of that element. We also know that the number of electrons in any atom will vary, too. Atoms with a neutral charge will have the same number of electrons as protons, but the number of electrons can vary for a number of reasons. The number of protons, however will allow an investigator to identify an atom as being a particular element, and the atom will be further classified from there according to the number of neutrons and/or electrons it has.

What is atomic number of an atom?

The ATOMIC NUMBER (Z) gives the position of an element in the Periodic Table. It also indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom of a given element. Taking two examples;- Z = 1 ; Hydrogen ; No. of protons = 1, No of electrons = 1 Z = 6 ; Carbon ; No. of protons = 6, No of electrons = 6


How many electrons can an atom contain?

That depends on the number of protons. It also depends whether the atom has gained or lost electrons to form an ion. Carbon is element number 6; it has 6 protons and 6 electrons. Lead is element number 82; it has 82 protons and 82 electrons.


If s and p sub levels of an atom of an element in period 3 are filled with electrons which orbitals are filled in this atom?

If the s and p sublevels are filled in an atom of an element in period 3, then the orbitals filled in this atom would be 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p. Each s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while each p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.


How do you calculate number of electrons of a given element?

You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.


What element has 6 protons and 6 electrons?

The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons


The element carbon has 6 electrons how many protons does it have?

Carbon has 6 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, which is why carbon, with 6 electrons, also has 6 protons. This is what defines it as the element carbon on the periodic table.


How many electrons does hexane have?

Hexane has 42 electrons. Each carbon atom in hexane has 6 electrons (4 valence electrons and 2 core electrons), and each hydrogen atom has 1 electron.


How many electrons are shown in the electron-dot structure of iodine?

Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.


How many electrons are in the expanded valence for sulfur dioxide?

There are 20 valence electrons in the expanded valence structure of sulfur dioxide. This includes the electrons from the sulfur atom (6 valence electrons) and each oxygen atom (6 valence electrons each).
