silicon (Si). -apex
what term describes elements that contain the same number of valence electrons
Group 16 (VIB or VIA) elements have six valence electrons.
group
Elements in Group 14 (Carbon family) contain four valence electrons. These elements include carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead.
group
The valence electrons in main group elements are typically found in the s and p orbitals. Group 1 and 2 elements have valence electrons in s orbitals, while groups 13-18 elements have valence electrons in both s and p orbitals.
Almost all elements have multiple valence electrons, there are only 7 that don't. They are: hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The elements have 1 valence electron. All other elements have anywhere from 2 to 8 valence electrons
An example is silicon.
How many valence electrons do transition elements have?
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).
Argon does not contain valence electrons.
Elements that contain four valence electrons include elements from group 14 of the periodic table, such as carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb). These elements have their outermost electron shell filled with four electrons and display a variety of chemical properties based on this electron configuration.
