how do you know the amount of protons / electrons?
the number of protons in an atom of an element is called its atomic number
5 of 9
how do you know the amount of neutrons?
the mass number
6 of 9
Explain the pattern in the outer shells in the electronic structure
the atoms in the groups have a pattern. the group of which the atom is in, is the amount of electrons in the outer shell. eg...group 2 - there would be 2 electrons in the outer shell
