What else can I help you with?
Does carbon have three electrons in its valence shells yes or no?
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).
How many valence shells does the element neon have?
Period number = no. of electron shells. Therefore neon has two shells.
Which element has 4 valence electrons in the 6th shell?
The element with 4 valence electrons in the 6th shell is lead (Pb). Lead has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which is the 6th electron shell.
What element has 5 valence electrons in the M shell?
Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons in the M shell.
Are electron shells and valence electrons the same thing?
Valency is the number of electrons in the outer shell the charge is how many electrons is needed to form an octet (full valence = 8 electrons) Eg. Sulfur valence = 6 charge = -2 (needs to gain 2 electrons to gain an octet)
What element has 3 electron shells and 4 valence electrons?
Silicon. Electronic configuration [Ne]3s23p2

What is different in number of shells in magnesium and sulphur?
There are no difference in the number of shells in magnesium and sulphur. Both elements contain 3 shells. However, the total number of electrons in the shells are different. Magnesium has 12 electrons in its shells whereas sulphur has 16 electrons in its shell. In addition, the electrons in the valence shell (outermost shell) are also different. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell whereas sulphur has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
What is an outer shell of an element?
The outer shell is the valence electrons and they are very loosely bound to the nucleus - less force by the nucleus on the valence electrons, so valence shell's electrons are exchanged first in any reaction.Valence
What word describes the outermost shell of the electrons?
The VALENCE Shell. In any chemical reaction it is the electrons in the Valence Shell that do the reacting. Any inner shells of electrons do NOT take part in a chemical reaction.
How many valence shells in beryllium?
Beryllium has one valence shell containing two electrons.
How many electrons does a boron atom have in its outer shell?
Boron has 2 orbitals

How many electron shells and how many valence electrons are in an atom of an element found in period 3 and group 16 of the periodic table?
This element is sulfur; the electron configuration of sulfur is [Ne]3s23p4. Sulfur has three electron shells cotaining 2, 8 and 6 electrons. The last six are valence electrons.
