No. By definition, valence electrons are the furthest electrons from the nucleus in the atom. They are the electrons most easily removed from (or added to) the atom to create ions. A loophole to this answer might be to say that hydrogen and helium only have 1 and 2 electrons respectively so their valence electrons are close. That's a matter of perspective, as no electrons are really "close" to the nucleus to begin with. A typical comparison is to imagine a grape seed in the middle of a football stadium. The grape seed represents the nucleus, and an electron would be a speck of dust on the outside of the stadium.

They are the electrons that often contribute to an elements reactivity and in the case of Sodium, which as one valence electron in its ground state, it "gives up" its electron when it comes in contact with water.

The elements in group 7A have one valence electron true or false?
A valence electron, or valence electrons, are found in all of the elements. A valence electron is an electron located on the out most shell of an element (the valence shell). Most elements will have more than one valence electron. Oxygen, or O, has six valence electrons because its outer shell consists of six electrons.
How many valence electrons does S2- have?
8 valence electron
What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
The question is: What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?This question may seem hard and/or confusing, but it's really not. You just have to think about it for a minute. This question was in my science quiz online. I had to take LOTS of notes, and guess what?, the answer was right there in my notes..The notes that I took for this question had the topic:Electrons in an ElementMy notes were:-Electrons occupy the electron cloud.-Each electron occupies an energy state.-Electrons farther from the nucleus occupy a higher energy state.-The electron cloud is divided into energy levels.-Each energy level can hold a certain number of electrons-Valence Electrons are usually found in the highest energy level.Not very much notes, but lots of information, and most of them are about energy, and one is about Valence electrons. So, let's figure this.If a valence electron usually have the highest energy level, then a nonvalence electron must not have any energy levels. So, what you would have to add to the nonvalence electron is add energy to become a valence electron.Our question is: What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?So the answer to our question is: Energy. Energy can be added.
How many valence electrons in H2 atom?
H2 is not an atom, it is a diatomic molecule. Each hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron. When two hydrogen atoms covalently bond to form an H2 molecule, there are two valence electrons being shared by the two atoms.
How many valence electrons does gold have?
The number of electrons in a neutral atom of any element is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. The number of protons in an element is the same as the atomic number for that element. In the case of Gold (Au) the atomic number is 79.
What are the electron farthest from the nucleus called?
Electrons farthest from nucleus are valence electrons. They are present in outermost orbit.
What are the farthest electrons from the nucleus?

Which electron are the valence electrons of the atom?
The correct answer is: The electrons farthest away from the nucleus... chris ellis
What type of electron is available to form bonds?
Valence electrons-electrons that are farthest from an atoms nucleus- are the electrons that form bonds with other atoms.
What is the name of the subatomic particles located farthest from the nucleus of the atom?
Valence electrons are located farthest from the nucleus of the atom.
Are valence electrons contained in orbitals farthest from the nucleus?
Yes
What are the electrons on an element's farthest or outermost electron shell?
Valence.
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 the following phrases describe valence electrons?
