Answer:
A helium atom is an atom of the chemical element helium. Helium is composed of two electrons bound by the electromagnetic force to a nucleus containing two protons along with either one or two neutrons, depending on the isotope, held together by the strong force. Unlike for hydrogen, a closed-form solution to the Schrödinger equation for the helium atom has not been found. However, various approximations, such as the Hartree–Fock method, can be used to estimate the ground state energy and wavefunction of the atom.
Explanation:
So... for the element of SULFUR, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 16 electrons in a sulfur atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one, eight in shell two, and six in shell three.
Answer:
The Distribution of electrons in shells with clear diagrams in the Helium and Sulphur
Explanation:
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. All are mostly similar in the elements.
