There are 3 pairs of valence electrons present on the boron atom in BF3. Boron has 3 valence electrons, and each fluorine atom provides one additional electron, giving a total of 6 valence electrons on boron.
A chloride ion has 18 electrons, giving it a valence of -1.
A carbon atom has 4 valence electrons. So, for a C6 molecule, there will be a total of 6 carbon atoms, and each carbon atom will contribute 4 valence electrons, giving a total of 24 valence electrons in the C6 molecule.
There are ONLY 2 valence electrons in Co, valence electrons come only from the s orbital and the p orbital, giving only 2 for Cobalt.
6. Valence electrons are the electrons in the s and p orbitals. Keeping this in mind, Se has the 4s orbitals filled (2 electrons) and has 4 electrons filled in the 4p orbital (4p4). 2+4 = 6.

A chloride ion has 18 electrons, giving it a valence of -1.
There are ONLY 2 valence electrons in Co, valence electrons come only from the s orbital and the p orbital, giving only 2 for Cobalt.
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, however, Fluoride (F-) is an anion with a negative charge, giving it one more electron, bumping the number of valence electrons to 8.
A carbon atom has 4 valence electrons. So, for a C6 molecule, there will be a total of 6 carbon atoms, and each carbon atom will contribute 4 valence electrons, giving a total of 24 valence electrons in the C6 molecule.
Radon, being a noble gas, has 8 valence electrons, giving it a stable octet.
There are ONLY 2 valence electrons in Co, valence electrons come only from the s orbital and the p orbital, giving only 2 for Cobalt.
The number of valence electrons in cyclopentadiene C5H6 is 54. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1, giving a total of 30 for carbon atoms and 24 for hydrogen atoms.
Noble gases do not like giving up electrons. There are 2 electrons in the outer shell of helium and 8 electrons in the outer shell of the other noble gases (group 18 of the periodic table), representing filled shells.
6. Valence electrons are the electrons in the s and p orbitals. Keeping this in mind, Se has the 4s orbitals filled (2 electrons) and has 4 electrons filled in the 4p orbital (4p4). 2+4 = 6.
There are 32 electrons available for bonding in the sulfate ion (SO4^2-). Each oxygen contributes 6 valence electrons, and the sulfur contributes 6 valence electrons, giving a total of 32 electrons.
An element with 7 valence electrons in the periodic table is nitrogen (atomic number 7). Nitrogen belongs to group 15 (or group 5A) on the periodic table, and it has 5 electrons in its outer shell and 2 electrons in the shell below, giving it a total of 7 valence electrons.
