an electron is a wavelength of energy that orbits a nucleus at the speed of light in an orbital where only one other electron can exist with an opposite spin, the electons in the orbitals in the outermost energy levels are valence electrons.

ex: C= 1s^2 2s^2 2p^2 (the second energy level ((the outermost in this example)) contains a total of 4 electrons or its valence electrons)

What is the valence electron of argon?

Valence electrons are the outer layer of electrons, the part that reacts. Argon is a noble gas, so it has a full valence electron level. It has eight valence electrons.


Does Sodium have a full outer valence shell?

Sodium does not have a full outer valence shell. It has one electron in its outermost shell, which makes it very reactive and likely to lose that electron to achieve stability.
