Answer: Subtract the number of valence electrons(outer most shell electrons) from the atomic number of an atom.

Explanation: The total number of electrons for an atom equals to its atomic number. Electrons are present in different shells. Electrons present in outer most shell(valence shell) are known as valence electrons and rest of the electrons present in inner shells are known as core electrons.

So, to determine the number of electrons we subtract the valence electrons from atomic number.

For example, atomic number of N (nitrogen) is 7. It has 5 valence electrons.

Number of core electrons for N = 7 - 5 = 2

Consider a generic redox reaction?
vesna_86 [32]
The Nernst equation allows us to predict the cell potential for voltaic cells under conditions other than the standard conditions of 1M, 1 atm, 25°C. The effects of different temperatures and concentrations may be tracked in terms of the Gibbs energy change ΔG. This free energy change depends upon the temperature & concentrations according to   ΔG = ΔG°  +  RTInQ  where ΔG° is the free energy change under conditions and Q is the thermodynamic reaction quotient. The free energy change is related to the cell potential  Ecell by ΔG= nFEcell

so for non-standard conditions
              -nFEcell = -nFE°cell  + RT InQ

or
   
              Ecell  =  E°cell - RT/nF (InQ) 

which is called Nernst equation.
