Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 2QQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Identification of the number of valence electrons present in an atom with the electron configuration
Concept Introduction:
The electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom are known as valence electrons.
Valence electrons are important because:
- The valence electrons decide the reactivity of an element.
- The valence electrons decide the way an atom forms a bond with another atom.
- The valence electron in an atom decides the combining capacity of the element.
- Except inner
transition elements valence electrons are present in s or p subshells of elements. - For inner transition elements incompletely filled d or f subshells electrons are considered as valence electrons.
