What the electrons look like in a neon atom?

Answer #1

for the element neon, the atomic number (10) tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 10 electrons in a neon atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and eight in shell two. Because shell two has eight electrons it is now full.
