Valence Electrons
This is the valence electron shell.
when a neutral atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. it now has a stable outer most shell.
The electron configuration is why they react. The Alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell and to complete their outer shell need 7 more electrons. They can give, take or share electrons with other atoms. This is when the Halogens come in handy. The Halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, and need one more to complete the outer shell. These can react very easily because they have both the perfect amounts to fill their outer shells and become compounds. Other atoms with other amounts to become atoms not ions needs another element to react with. Hope this helps, Matt.
No, on the most inner shell, only 2 electrons can be held, but then on every other shell it is usally 8
The electrons placed near the nucleus.
The electrons in the valence shell are those most concerned with bonding and how that occurs. The "non-bonding" electrons are the ones in the inner shells, or the non-valence shells of an atom. Non-bonding electrons are also found in the valence shell. They are referred to as lone pairs. For example, in ammonia (NH3), nitrogen has one lone pair. In most circumstances, lone pair electrons do not form bonds (they do in a special type of covalent bond).
Electrons in the outer most shell are called Valence Electrons.
Valence electrons
The outer most electron shell of iodine atom contains 7 electrons.
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.
The electrons in the outer most shell are known as the valence electrons.
Valence electrons
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.

valence electrons or the electrons on the outer most shell.
A fluorine atom has seven unshared electrons in its outer most shell (valence shell).
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer-most shell of the atom. These are typically the electrons involved in forming bonds with other atoms (as opposed to the other so-called "core" electrons which do not interact much with other atoms or molecules.)See the Related Questions links below for more information and for how to count the valence electrons of an atom.Any electrons located in the outer shell of an atom are known as valence electrons.Valence electrons are electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.
If I remember well there are 3.
