99 electrons

Element with 99 protons (atomic number) (Es - Einsteinium) will have 99 electrons at its stable state. But usually, any element above the atomic number of 83 is unstable, you should learn that in nuclear chemistry. But for your purposes, the answer should be 99 electrons.

Hope This helps.
