7 electrons
Look at how the element Cl is located in the 17th column of the Periodic Table of elements. We simply take the second digit of that number (7) to find the numbers of electrons in the valence shell.
Notes:
This element is likely chlorine (Cl), which has 7 valence electrons and 3 filled energy levels with a partially filled 4th energy level.
Aluminum has it's valence electrons in the 3rd energy level. Others that also have valence electrons in n=3 would be Na, Mg, Si, P, S, and Cl. Argon also has a filled 3rd level.
Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, as it is in Group 17 or 7A of the periodic table. This means it has 7 electrons in its outermost energy level.
2nd energy level, the electron arrangement is 2,1 at ground state
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
Valence electrons are found in the outermost energy level of an atom, also known as the highest principal energy level. These are the electrons involved in chemical bonding and determining the reactivity of an element.
valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level
Cl has the electron configuration1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5the 1s2 2s2 2p6 electrons are the core electronsthe 3s2 3p5 electrons are the valence electronsthe electron structure of Cl would show the valence electrons as 3 lone pairs and 1 single electron .... sorry can't show diagram
The outermost energy level of an atom is referred to as the valence shell.
Valence electrons.
This is the valence shell and is involved in bonding e.g. the sharing or loss of electrons to form a molecule or giant structure. Inner shells do not take part in bonding though their shielding effect and repulsion does affect the loss and gain of electrons from this shell.
To determine the valence shell, look at the outermost energy level of an atom (the highest value for "n" in the electron configuration). The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, which are involved in bonding and chemical reactions. Count the number of electrons in the outermost energy level to find the valence electrons.
