Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

Atoms of the same element can have different forms; for example, carbon-12 and carbon-14.
cricket20 [7]
A carbon-12 atom has 6 protons (6P) and 6 neutrons (6N). But some types of carbon have more than six neutrons. We call forms of elements that have a different number of neutrons, isotopes. For example, carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has six protons and eight neutrons in its nucleus.
