Electrons are negative charged particles which move around the nucleus in orbits. Orbits are often called shells. For instance in the solar system, planets are moving in orbits around the sun same like electrons around the nucleus. The orbit is only a imaginary line and do not exits really, just used for understanding.. Every element has its own numbers of electrons. shells have the capacity to hold upto a fixed amount of electrons. The first shell contain 2 electrons, second shell contain 8 electrons and so on. And now the outer most electrons means the electrons that are present in the outer most shell of the atom around the nucleus. The most last orbit around the nucleus is called outer most shell and the electrons in that shell are called valence electrons.

The proper term is VALENCE, the outermost shell = valence shell, outermost electrons = valence electrons

What terms is used to the electrons in outermost shell or energy level?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the electrons available for bonding and generally determine the number of bonds an atom can make
Why are elements in different families?
Elements on the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements are separated into groups/families based on their valence electrons.Every atom has electrons. The ones in the outermost energy level(shell) are the valence electrons. These are the only electrons used in chemical bonds and compounds.PainRain
What is meant by reliance electrons?
No such thing. Did you mean valence electrons? Those are the outermost electrons in an atom, and they are the ones that are used in a chemical reaction.
How does the energy of core electron compare with the energy of valence electron?
valence electrons are bound to atoms and are used to bind atoms into molecules. free electron are free, either they are in the conduction band "electron gas" of a metal or they are in a vacuum (perhaps in a vacuum tube).
Is chemical bond and valence electron similar?
No, they arent. Valence electrons are the amount of electrons the element has in its outermost shell. Electrons dont bond, they can either be shared or transferred. An ionic bond transfers electrons and a covalent bond shares electrons.
What term is used for the electron in the outermost shell or energy level?
These are the valence electrons.
What terms is used to the electrons in outermost shell or energy level?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the electrons available for bonding and generally determine the number of bonds an atom can make
What term is used for the electrons in the outermost or energy level?
These are the valence electrons.
Which electrons are generally available for bonding?
Typically, the valence electrons, the electrons in the outermost shell, of an atom are used in bonding.
What are the electrons in the outermost orbital used in chemical bonding called?
Valence electrons, the outer most shell.
Which electrons are use to form bonds?
Valence electrons are used to form bonds. These are present in outermost shell.
How do you find valency of elements?
The number of electrons in the outermost energy shell is usually used in finding the valency of a given element. For instance elements that have two electrons in the outermost energy shell have valency 2.
What does the outer shell of electrons of an atom tell you?
The electrons on the outermost shell of an atom tell you how many valence electrons an atom on the periodic table has , and this number can be used to apply to the octect rule .
What is the maximum number of electrons that will fit in the outermost shell of an atom?
This depends on the model used and thoerys applied. Using the Lewis Model it is 8, although certain molecules can "Expand their octet" and become hypervalent. IF you are looking at the subshell model (used at university level) it is 14 in the lanthanium series and actinium series.
Explain how valence electrons in an atom are used to form a full outermost energy level?
The electrons on the outermost energy level of the atom are called valence electrons.
What rule of thumb is used to determine the number of covalent bonds an atom can form?
Covalent bonds are formed when the electrons in atoms' outer shells are shared. An atom can generally only form as many covalent bonds as is has electrons in its outermost shell. Hydrogen only has one electron in its outermost shell, thus hydrogen can only form one covalent bond.
