describ how to verify the number of electrons in the atom of an element.
You look at the atomic number which is the number of protons. The number of protons equals the number of electrons.
please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks
you are correct.
thank you
You're almost correct! To verify the number of electrons in an atom of an element, you need to look at the atomic number, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
The atomic number is uniquely assigned to each element on the periodic table. For example, oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 protons in its nucleus. Since atoms are neutral overall, the number of electrons in an atom is also equal to the number of protons. Therefore, oxygen also has 8 electrons.
So, to verify the number of electrons in any given atom of an element, you simply need to determine its atomic number, which can be found on the periodic table.
