How many electrons do the following have?

Gold

Iron

Copper

Uranium

Au = it has 79 electrons

Fe = it has 26 electrons

Cu = it has 29 electrons

U = it has 92 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Gold = Au = atomic number 79 = So it has 79 electrons

Iron = Fe = atomic number 26 = So it has 26 electrons

Copper = Cu = atomic number 29 = So it has 29 electrons

Uranium = U = atomic number 92 = So it has 92 electrons
