Which group has a complete set of valence electrons in their outermost energy level?

Noble gases have a complete set of valence electrons in their outermost energy level, which is why they are known to be stable and unreactive.


Which number tells you the number of valence electrons?

The group number in the periodic table tells you the number of valence electrons for main group elements. The group number is the same as the number of valence electrons, except for transition metals.


What is the number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an element in Group 15?

The number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an element in Group 15 is 5. Group 15 elements have 5 valence electrons, which occupy the highest energy level.


How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level of oxygen?

Oxygen atoms have 6 electrons in the highest occupied energy level. They are two 2s electrons and four 2p electrons. All elements in Group 16 have 6 valence electrons. For Groups 13-18, subtract 10 from the group number and that gives you the number of valence electrons (the electrons in the highest energy s and p orbitals). The Group 1 elements have one valence electron and the Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. The transition metals can vary in the number of valence electrons. You can't necessarily go by group number for them.


What is the number of valence electrons for group 2 elements?

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).

Does calcium have three electrons that complete its valence shell?

The element calcium is in the fourth energy level and second group of the periodic table. This put it in the 's' orbital group with two valence electrons.

How many valence electrons do the boron group have?

Boron is located in group 3A. It is group 13 in modern notation. This set of elements have three valence electrons.Boron is in the 13th group in the periodic table. Elements in this group has 3 electrons in the outermost energy level. That means they have 3 valence electrons.


What is the different about the valence electrons for all elements in a group?

Valence electrons for elements in the same group are the same because they are located in the outermost energy level of an atom. This common number of valence electrons is what gives elements within a group similar chemical properties.


What is the number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an element in Group 15?

The number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an element in Group 15 is 5. Group 15 elements have 5 valence electrons, which occupy the highest energy level.


Are periods valence electrons or electron shell?

The period tells you the valence ELECTRON SHELL (energy level). The group tells you the number of valence electrons.


How do you find out how many electrons are in an outer energy level?

You can determine the number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom by looking at its group number on the periodic table. For main group elements, the group number corresponds to the number of valence electrons. For example, group 1 elements have 1 valence electron, group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons, and so on.


How many valence electrons in selenium?

Selenium has 6 valence electrons. It belongs to group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level.

What is the group of elements with the same number of valence electrons?

Elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and determine an element's chemical properties.
