How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck would
Valence electrons are the total amount of electrons on the outermost shell of an atom. Meaning if the last shell has two, the valence electrons are two. But a complete valence shell would hold eight.
6 valence electrons 1s2 2s2 2p4 These 6 valence electrons are in the outer shell.
The electronic configuration tells that the element is Oxygen and has 6 electrons in valence shell because there are 6 electrons in the 2nd energy level.
It depends on the number of electrons in the outer valence shell in the atom
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Its atomic number is 7 therefore it has a total of 7 electrons. If you put this in a Bohr-Rutherford Diagram, there would be 2 electrons in the first shell (Helium structure) and 5 electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in an element's outermost shell is its number of valence electrons.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
The maximum number of electrons that might be found in the valence shell is eight.
Oxygen has 2 valence electrons.
Six.
All the noble gases have 8 electrons in their valence shell except helium which have 2 electrons in its valence shell.
Oxygen, with a electron number of 8 there are two electrons on the first orbit ring and six an the outer ring(shell) those are the valence electrons
