Hydrogen doesn't really have a valence shell. It has one electron only.
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
In the outermost shell that has electrons in it, those are called the valence electrons. For example carbon has 6 electrons, but only 4 are valence electrons because there are 2 in the shell in between it and the center of the element and 4 on the outside shell.
It depends on the number of electrons in the outer valence shell in the atom
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Its atomic number is 7 therefore it has a total of 7 electrons. If you put this in a Bohr-Rutherford Diagram, there would be 2 electrons in the first shell (Helium structure) and 5 electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in an element's outermost shell is its number of valence electrons.
Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom/ion are called valence electrons
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
Valence Electrons
Valence electrons are in the outermost shell of an atom.
Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell of the atom.
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.
Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
valence electrons are the electrons located in the outer shell of an atom which are available for reaction
This valence shell has the valence electrons.
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
Kernel electrons are the electrons that orbit the nucleus of atom and are NOT considered to be part of the valence shell.
