∙ 11y agoThe electron structure of mercury is:
1s2 2s2p6 3s2p6d10 4s2p6d10f14 5s2p6d10 6s2
So the 6s orbital is outermost. This outermost shell can (and does) hold 2 electrons.

What is the most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction?
The most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction is 8 electrons. This is referred to as the octet rule in representative elements.
Does helium have the maximum number of valence electrons in its outer shell?
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?
The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.
How many electrons are in the outer orbit of silver?
C = 1s2,2s2,2p2 so the outermost (2p) orbital has 2 electrons in Ground State
Is valence electrons in the outer most orbital?
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
How many outer orbital electrons is found in an atom of Be?
Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.

What are eletronics?
Valence electrons are electrons found in the outer orbital (shell of an atom) They are the electrons used for bonding
