~~31 electrons if I can count, so Gallium?~~

~~Although I'm pretty sure that electron configuration is made up~~

Edit: nvm, see comment below, 47 electrons is right, been a long time since I last did chemistry :P

Tf guys i count 47 which is way above 31&33.

How are you guys counting?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You're right, according to online calcs. But man I can't remember how to count these myself.

Wanna explain for someone who didn't have to do much chemistry?

Add up the superscript numbers. That gives electrons, i.e, atomic numbers.
