Need help understanding how the K atom could obtain eight outer shell electrons?
by removing its 3s1 electron, leaving K+ and a complete shell of 2s2 2p6
There are 2 valence electrons in an atom of magnesium. There are 5 valence electrons that are in an atom of phosphorus. There are 4 valence electrons that are in a silicon atom.
The electrons farthest away from the nucleus are the valence electrons of an atom.
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
Valence electrons
Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell of the atom.
The most valence electrons an atom can contain is eight.
Yes it is.
eight I believe
26
There are 8 Valence Electrons.
No, eight valence electrons completely fills the valence band and makes the atom inert. The most reactive atoms have either one valence electron or seven valence electrons.

Because it is already stable!
