Why is lithium an element?
Li, Lithium has one electron in its outer shell. Valence electrons occupy the orbits furthest from the nucleus,
Is the valence of an atom determined by the nucleus.?
No because they are the furthest from the nucleus.
What term is used to refer to the electrons furthest from the nucleus?
Valence electrons
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.
What subshell is farthest from the nucleus?
The subshell farthest from the nucleus is the outermost shell, which is also known as the valence shell. This shell contains the valence electrons of an atom and determines its chemical properties.
Is the valence electron farthest or closest to the nucleus?
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.

Are electron shells and valence electrons the same thing?
Valency is the number of electrons in the outer shell the charge is how many electrons is needed to form an octet (full valence = 8 electrons) Eg. Sulfur valence = 6 charge = -2 (needs to gain 2 electrons to gain an octet)
How do you find valence shell?
The valence shell is the outermost shell of the atom. For example, hydrogen (which is located on Period 1) has only one shell and it is its valence shell. Another example, bromine (which is located on Period 4) has four electron shells, and its fourth shell (counting away from the nucleus) is its valence shell containing seven electrons.
What is an outer shell of an element?
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.Valence
An atom of chlorine has several valence electrons in its what A nucleus Bfirst shell C second shell D third shell?
Third Shell
What is the valence electrons weakest attraction?
The valence electrons experience the weakest attraction to the nucleus in an atom. This is because they are the outermost electrons and are furthest from the positively charged nucleus, making their attraction relatively weaker compared to the inner electrons.
What is the definition of kernel electrons?
Kernel electrons are defined as the innermost electrons in an atom, located closest to the nucleus. These electrons have the highest energy and are tightly bound to the nucleus. Kernel electrons play a crucial role in determining the chemical properties of an element.
