Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.

Give the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in 99Tc
miss Akunina [59]

Explanation:

Tc - 99 is technetium 99.

It is a radioactive element that decays spontaneously. It has a half-life of 211,000 years and decays to stable ruthenium.

  • On the periodic table, it has an atomic number of 43;

Mass number  = 99

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons in atom

  Number of protons in Tc is 43

                      electron is 43

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

  Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 99-43 = 56

What is the mass number of an atom with 17 protons, 17 electrons, and 20 neutrons?
astra-53 [7]
The mass number of this particular element is 37

An element with 17 protons will ALWAYS be chlorine.
The mass number is found by adding the element’s protons and neutrons.
protons+neutrons=mass number

Here is the math if needed,
17+20=37

Therefore the mass number is 37

I hope this helped!
