a n x atom has 19 electrons how many electrons are found in its outer shell?

X atom (means no radical) having 19 electrons will be sure potassium, according to the defination of atomic number. Now, the the valancy of an element is equivalent to the number of electrons present in its outermost shell.

Row 3 elements on the left lose electrons to gain a full outer shell, elements on the right usually gain electrons to have 8 electrons in their outer shell. The basis of the octet rule is that atoms 'want' a full outer shell of electrons, i.e. they are most stable with a full outer shell.

Skeletal structure of N2 is given below. Each nitrogen atoms contribute 5 electrons and hence total number of valence electrons is 10. Each bond contributes two electrons. 2 electrons are reduced from the total number of valence electrons and the remaining 8 distributed on atoms so that it obeys octet rule.

The shell closest to the nucleus, 1n, can hold two electrons, while the next shell, 2n, can hold eight, and the third shell, 3n, can hold up to eighteen. ... This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.

That means there are 9 electrons in a fluorine atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and seven in shell two.

The number of valence electrons is the number of electrons in the outer shell, that the atom uses for bonding. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its n=2 (outer) shell. There is a quick way of identifying the number of valence electrons - it is the same as the Group number (not for d-block elements, though).

Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.

A total of 8 electrons can be placed in the outermost shell of an atom. This rule is known as the Octet rule.

The other inert gases including argon and xenon also have full outer shells with eight electrons. The inert gases have a valence number of 0.

In this table, you can see that helium has a full valence shell, with two electrons in its first and only, 1n, shell. Similarly, neon has a complete outer 2n shell containing eight electrons.

Nitrogen has a total of 5 valence electrons, so doubling that, we would have a total of 10 valence electrons with two nitrogen atoms. The octet requires an atom to have 8 total electrons in order to have a full valence shell, therefore it needs to have a triple bond.

A neutral atom of argon will have eight valence electrons. These are the electrons found in the outer shell of electrons.

Roentgenium atoms have 111 electrons and the shell structure is 2.8. 18.32. 32.18. 1.

The Group 7 elements - fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and astatine (At) - have seven electrons in the outer shell.

The sodium atom is left with a full outermost electron shell with eight electrons, and the outermost shell of the other atom is full as well.

Outermost shell of Ni is 4th shell i.e N shell. It contains 2 electrons. Therefore Ni has 2 valence electrons.
