What is the name given to the outer shell of the atom?
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
If k and L shell of an atom are full then what would be the number of electrons in an atom?
If K and L shell are full then the number of electrons in that atom is 10.
Is it easier to remove an electron from the outside shell of a K atom than from the outside shell of a Na atom?
Yes.
What is an atom when it has 8 electrons in the outer shell?
A Nobel gas, or an atom with a filled valance shell. In Nobel gas configuration.
What do you find in the shell of an atom?
your mom is found in the shell of an atom.
What type of shell is the outermost energy of a shell of an atom?
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
Does an atom have a hard shell?
An atom doesn't have a "shell" at all. Electrons orbit an atom at different layers each called a "shell", so your answer is no.
How many valence shells does an atom has?
The valence shell is the outermost shell...and an atom can only have one outer shell.
What is the name given to the outer shell of the atom?
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
How many electrons does ammonia's atom have in its K shell L shell M shell and N shell?
Ammonia is a molecule (NH3) and not an atom.
An atom contains seven electrons in its outermost energy level the atom is what?
The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.
What is a valence electon?
an electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.
Outer electric shell of an atom?
Valence shell
What is the Outer most shell of atom?
Valence shell
What are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
