To form glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), which consists of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms, we need to consider the valence shell vacancies of each element. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and typically forms 4 bonds, while oxygen has 6 valence electrons and forms 2 bonds. The molecular structure of glucose means that each carbon and oxygen atom contributes to the overall bonding, resulting in the need for 12 valence shell vacancies to accommodate the bonding in glucose.

The outer-most shell of an atom is called the valence shell. It is involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
The valence shell is the outermost shell of the atom. For example, hydrogen (which is located on Period 1) has only one shell and it is its valence shell. Another example, bromine (which is located on Period 4) has four electron shells, and its fourth shell (counting away from the nucleus) is its valence shell containing seven electrons.
No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell, and it needs 1 more electron to complete its valence shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons.

One valence shell
Krypton is a noble gas; it has 8 electrons in its valence shell.
The outer shell is called the valence shell
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.
This valence shell has the valence electrons.
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
The atomic number for hydrogen (H) is 1 in the Periodic Table of Elements and it has that number of electrons (Valence & otherwise). Hence H2O for water since Oxygen O needs 2 electrons added to its valence electrons to make the stable compound WATER.
The outermost energy level of an atom is referred to as the valence shell.
These are the noble gases which have a complete valence shell.
