2nd energy level, the electron arrangement is 2,1 at ground state
The first energy level has a maximum of two valence electrons. The second and third energy levels have a maximum of 8 valence electrons.
Calcium atoms have 8 electrons in the second energy level. However, they are not the valence electrons. The outermost electrons in a calcium atom in the ground state are 2 4s electrons. So calcium atoms in the ground state have 2 valence electrons in the fourth energy level.
valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level
Phosphorus has five valence electrons.
Two valence electrons at second s- and p-level each: 2s2 2p2 The other two are nonvalence electrons on 1st s-level: 1s2
The electron configuration 1s^22s^22p^4 corresponds to 6 valence electrons. This is because the electrons in the second energy level (2s^2 and 2p^4) are considered valence electrons as they are in the outermost energy level of the atom.
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
An atom with 12 protons and electrons would have 2 electrons in the first energy level and 10 in the second energy level. Therefore, it would have 2 valence electrons.
Valence electrons are found in the outermost energy level of an atom, also known as the highest principal energy level. These are the electrons involved in chemical bonding and determining the reactivity of an element.
Electrons in the outermost energy level (valence electrons) have the highest energy level. These electrons are involved in the atom's chemical reactions and bonding with other atoms.
