(a)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons of the given element is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of the electrons that exists in the atomic orbital of an atom is collectively known as electronic configuration. The description of every electron in an orbital is given by the electronic configuration of that atom.
The electrons that are present in the outermost shell of an atom are known as valence electrons. The outermost shell of an atom is known as valence shell. The valence electrons are more loosely held than the electrons which are closer to the nucleus.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons of the given element is to be stated.

- An ion that has two more electrons outside the nucleus than there are protons in the nucleus will have a charge of_________.arrow_forwardWhy does ionization energy in crease across a period? a greater number of electrons? b. Greater number of protons? c. Less electrons? d. Less protons?arrow_forward8. An instructor gave you directions to construct a model of the CH3CH2Br molecule by following t Experimental Procedure section of your experiment. First, you will need to find the number of valence electrons in CH3CH2Br. The number of va ence electrons in an atom of an element is said to be equal to the last d git in the group number of that element in the Periodic Table. How many sticks do you need if the electrons in the molecule are paired, and each post constitutes an electron pair? 9. An instructor gave you directions to construct a model of the CH3CH2Br molecule by following the Experimental Procedure section of your experiment. Now you assemble a skeleton structure for the molecule by connecting the balls with sticks into one unit. A ball has holes representing how many bonds an atom can form. You use the rule that C atoms form four bonds, while Br atoms usually do not. What is the sketch of the skeleton? 10. An instructor gave you directions to construct…arrow_forward
