Which two orbitals would the valence electrons be in?
The valence electrons of an atom are found in the outermost orbitals, typically the s and p orbitals. For main group elements, this generally means the highest energy s and p orbitals, such as the valence shell configurations in the form of ns and np. For transition metals, the d orbitals may also be considered as participating in bonding. Therefore, the valence electrons are primarily located in the outermost s and p orbitals.
How many valence electrons are in N2?
The third energy level contains one s orbital and three p orbitals.
How many valence p electrons does (Si 2-) possess?
Silicon (Si) has an atomic number of 14, meaning it has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell (the 3s and 3p orbitals). In the case of the Si 2- ion, it gains two additional electrons, bringing the total number of valence electrons to 6. Since the additional electrons occupy the 3p orbital, Si 2- has 4 valence s electrons and 2 additional p electrons. Therefore, Si 2- possesses 2 valence p electrons.

Calcium is a metal that has two valence electrons.
How much orbitals does silicon have?
Silicon has three orbitals in its valence shell: one 3s orbital and two 3p orbitals. This gives it a total of four valence electrons.
How many p orbitals are occupied by electrons in lead?
Lead has 82 electrons. It also has four valence electrons, two s- electrons and two p- electrons in its orbitals.

Name the 8 valence electrons for argon?
The 8 valence electrons for argon are located in the 3s and 3p orbitals, with two electrons in the 3s orbital and six electrons in the 3p orbital.
How many valence electrons are in N2?
The third energy level contains one s orbital and three p orbitals.
Why are Gallium 3d electrons not considered valence electrons?
Gallium has a total of 31 electrons, with two in the 1s orbital, eight in the 2s and 2p orbitals, and 18 in the 3s and 3p orbitals. The remaining three electrons are in the 3d orbital. In gallium's electron configuration, the 3d electrons are not in the highest energy level, so they are not considered valence electrons.
How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of nitrogen?
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons that are found in the outer most shell of an atom, and are consequently the electrons that move from atom to atom in the formation of compounds. The reason for this is a result of the electron configuration. A nitrogen atom has 3 orbitals; the 1s orbital, the 2s orbital, and the 2p orbital. In this case, the 2s and 2p orbitals are the valence orbitals, as they have the electrons with the most energy. With 7 protons, a neutral nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. The s orbitals can only hold 2 electrons, and the p orbitals can hold up to 6 electrons. The 1s orbital is filled first, leaving five electrons, then the 2s orbital is filled, leaving 3 electrons, and then these remaining electrons fill the 2p orbital halfway. There are a total of 5 electrons in the 2s and 2p orbitals, and since these orbitals have the most energy, there are 5 valence electrons.
How can you tell when atoms bond based on the valence electrons?
If I understand the theory correctly, then it is safe to assume that any molecular bond is based on the valence system. Valence bonding occurs when orbitals of electrons are slightly overlapped. Your question should rather be 'what kind of valence bond occured in the bond. There are 2 types namely sigma and pi. Sigma bonds occur when the orbitals of two shared electrons overlap head-to-head. Pi bonds occur when two orbitals overlap when they are parallel (wikipedia). So it is safe to assume that any bond that is covalent can be described using valence theory.
How many valence electrons does selenium (Se) have?
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.
Why is a helium atom stable with only two electrons in its outermost energy level?
helium has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is stable
What is the number of valence electrons for He?
Two valence electrons.
