8 electrons which equals the atomic number
How many electrons dose boron have in its outer shell?
Boron has three electrons in its outer shell
What dose the atomic number tells you?
The Atomic Number tells us the position of the element in the Periodic Table. It also tells us the number of protons and electrons in an atom of that element. The Atomic Mass/Weight is different. The Atomic Mass is the total numbers of nucleons ( protons and neutrons) in the nucleus of an atom. For a given element the atomic mass can vary. This is because the nucleus may have a different number of neutrons. These different masses of a given element are named 'Isotopes'.
Dose nitrogen form a diatomic molecule held together by triple covalent bonds?
Yes, nitrogen forms a diatomic molecule (N2) held together by a triple covalent bond. Each nitrogen atom shares three electrons with the other nitrogen atom, resulting in a very stable molecule due to the strong bond formed by overlapping atomic orbitals.
How many electrons dose Sulfur need to gain in order to have the same electron configuration as Argon?
Sulfur has 16 electrons in its neutral state. Argon has 18 electrons. Therefore, Sulfur would need to gain 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as Argon.
