Basic things (part #2)

Hi guys in this post we are going to talk about some more things that I should have talked about earlier: electron rings/orbitals, and valence electrons.

First let’s talk about electron rings/orbitals. So electron rings/orbitals are basically different rings around the nucleus that can hold a different amount of electrons. There are 7 different electron rings/orbitals because 2+8+8+18+18+32+32=118, and the heaviest element has 118 protons. The first ring holds 2 electrons. The second and third rings hold 8 electrons. The forth and fifth rings hold 18 electrons. The sixth and seventh rings hold 32 electrons.

In this drawing I drew an atom with all the electron rings/orbitals and each electron ring/orbital has every electron it needs to be stable.

Now let’s talk about valence electrons. So valence electrons are the electrons that do the reacting – usually because the outer electron ring/orbital does not have the full amount of electrons. They are the electrons that are in the outer electron ring/orbital. For example magnesium, beryllium, barium, and ETC have 2 valence electrons. Lithium, francium, cesium, and ETC have 1 valence electron.

In this drawing I drew an atom with all the electron rings/orbitals and each electron ring/orbital has every electron it needs to be stable. And I also in red highlighted the valence electrons.

I wrote this from memory from what I learned in Khan Academy.

this is the end of this post so bye(: :D😃😊👋:D:).

Atoms (part #3)

Hi guys, in this video I will tell you three ways to classify atoms and know how much protons they have in their nucleus. I wrote this from memory from what I learned in khan academy
