How many electrons are in a vanadium atom?

Answer 1

The first thing to do is find vanadium's atomic number on a Periodic Table. We see that it's 23, thus vanadium has 23 protons and 23 electrons. Next we just start filling in the orbitals until we reach 23 electrons. This gives us an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d3. Well, from here it's clear to see that vanadium has only 3 d electrons.

Answer 2

A valence electron is the number of electrons found in the outermost layer of an atom. An atom needs 8 valence electrons in order to be stable and undergo chemical reactions. Since vanadium is in period 4, it goes to the 4th shell, the N shell. When you draw the diagram you put 2 in the K shell, 8 in the L shell, 11 in the M shell, and 2 in the N shell. Most atoms should have 18 atoms in the M shell. Therefore, vanadium has 2 valence electrons.

Answer 3

Maximum five valence electrons in Vanadium (Va, atomnumber 23 is in group 5, period 4, the 3d-block transition metals).

Electron configuration: [1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6], 4s2 3d3

Oxidation states are multi-valent: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, -1

Answer 4

Vanadium is a metal element. There are 23 electrons in a single atom.

Answer 5

There are 5 valence electrons in vanadium.

Answer 6

Vanadium's atomic number is 23. Therefore, it must have 23 protons. In order to remain electrically neutral then, vanadium must also have 23 electrons per atom.
