Use the periodic table to answer the question. Which element has the same number of electron shells as tungsten (W)? (1 point) Responses nickel (Ni) nickel (Ni) gold (Au) gold (Au) yttrium (Y) yttrium (Y) molybdenum (Mo)

1 answer

Tungsten (W) has 6 electron shells. To find an element with the same number of electron shells, we can compare it to the options provided:

  • Nickel (Ni) has 4 electron shells.
  • Gold (Au) has 6 electron shells.
  • Yttrium (Y) has 5 electron shells.
  • Molybdenum (Mo) has 5 electron shells.

Therefore, the element with the same number of electron shells as tungsten (W) is gold (Au).
