Electrons that are held most loosely in an atom are called what?
The electrons in the valence band, this can be 1 to 8 electrons (in the s and p orbitals of the outer shell) depending on the element.
Show location of valence electrons?
Valence electrons are those that are in the outermost shell of the atom.
What is the outer shell of an atom?
The outer shell is the valence electrons and they are very loosely bound to the nucleus - less force by the nucleus on the valence electrons, so valence shell's electrons are exchanged first in any reaction.
Which electron in an atom are the valence electrons?
The valence electrons are the outermost electrons, i.e. those that reside in the outermost energy level.
How many valence electrons does a nitrogen atom have then a carbon atom?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Valence electrons are those?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are involved in chemical bonding and determining an element's reactivity.
What is the energy level farthest away from the nucleus of the atom that holds 8 or more valence electrons?
The valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding. The electrons more loosely held by the nucleus - are the ones that are gained, lost or shared.
How many valence electrons are in an atom of magnesuim?
There are 2 valence electrons in an atom of magnesium. There are 5 valence electrons that are in an atom of phosphorus. There are 4 valence electrons that are in a silicon atom.
Which electrons are the valence electrons of an atom?
The electrons farthest away from the nucleus are the valence electrons of an atom.
Which of a potassium atom's electrons are its valence electrons?
Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell of the atom.
State the number of valence electrons in an atom of calcium?
A calcium atom has two valence electrons.
What are the electrons in the outmost shell of an atom called?
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
