How many valence neutrons does helium have?

First of all there is no such thing a a valence neutron. However there are valence electrons.Valence electrons are the electrons of the outer most layer or shell called valence shell. Based on a Bohr diagram or Lewis structure you can see that Helium has 2 valence electrons.


How many electrons are in the valence shell of He?

There are two electrons in the valance shell of helium. Since this is the first shell, it is filled by two electrons.


How many valance electrons does helium have?

Helium has two valence electrons. It is the only noble gas not to have eight valence electrons. Helium has the electronic configuration 1s2.The Noble gases have eight valence electrons in their outer shell.


How many electrons are there in the valence shell of a nitrogen 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.


How many valence electrons does the element Li have?

They do not. Helium has two electrons in its valence shell. Neon has eight, plus two more beneath the valence shell. However, since the first energy level can only hold two electrons, helium has a full valence shell, which explains why its properties are similar to those of neon.


How many electrons does He and Ca have in its outer shell?

Helium (He) and Calcium (Ca) both have 2 valence electrons.


How many electron does a noble gas have in its last shell?

Helium has 2 electrons in its last (and only) shell. All other noble gases have 8 electrons in its valence shell.


How many valence electrons do the insert gases have?

Enough to fill the outer-most shell. For most this is eight, but for helium it is two.


How many valence electrons does the nobel gas group have?

Noble gases have a full valence shell with 8 electrons, except for helium which has 2. This makes them very stable and unreactive.
