The valence electron configuration of Pb is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2, or 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 4 electrons per shell. It has four valence electrons in the outermost shell.

One is taken from the 4s sub-shell, the other from the 3d sub-shell. So the electron configuration of Cu2+ is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d9.

Problem: The complete ground state electron configuration for iodine (I) is: a. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d7 b.

The electrons in the highest numbered subshells are the valence electrons, which comprise the valence shell of the atom. For brevity, many chemists record the electron configuration of an atom by giving only its outermost subshell, like 4 s 1 for potassium or 4 s 2 for calcium.

The answer is 8 valence electrons. The valence electrons are those in the outermost shell, i.e. theshell with the highest principal quantum number n.

The Group 1 atoms have 1 valence electron. The Group 2 atoms have 2 valence electrons. The Group 3 atoms have 3 valence electrons. The Group 4 atoms have 4 valence electrons.

As a general rule, a main group element (except hydrogen or helium) tends to react to form a closed shell, corresponding to the electron configuration s2p6. This tendency is called the octet rule, because each bonded atom has eight valence electrons including shared electrons.

The valence d-subshell often "borrows" one electron (in the case of thorium two electrons) from the valence f-subshell. For example, in uranium 92U, according to the Madelung rule, the 5f orbital (n + ℓ = 5 + 3 = 8) is occupied before the 6d orbital (n + ℓ = 6 + 2 = 8).

For the HSO4- Lewis structure, we have a total of 32 valence electrons.

Electron configuration For a main group element, the valence electrons are defined as those electrons residing in the electronic shell of highest principal quantum number n. Thus, the number of valence electrons that it may have depends on the electron configuration in a simple way.

Vanadium's electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3. Vanadium is a d-block transition metal, therefore we remove the two valence electrons from the 4s subshell to form vanadium(II), giving us 1s22s22p63s23p63d3. Alternatively, this can be written using the symbol [Ar] to represent the noble gas core; [Ar]3d3.

Gallium has the following electron configuration. The 4s and 4p electrons can be lost in a chemical reaction, but not the electrons in the filled 3d subshell. Gallium therefore has three valence electrons. Atoms can combine to achieve an octet of valence electrons by sharing electrons.

36 electrons (white) occupy shells (rings); eight fill the outer (fourth) electron shell in what is a very stable configuration. The stability of an element's outer (valence) electrons determines its chemical and physical properties. Krypton is a noble gas in group 18, period 4, and the p-block of the periodic table.

A: Any element in group 1 has just one valence electron. Examples include hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), and sodium (Na). Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr).

The electron configuration of Nickel is Na 2, 8, 16, 2 where 2 electrons are present in the shell closest to the nucleus, 8 in the second closest, 16 in third and 2 in the outer shell, better known as the valence shell.

This family has six electrons in the outermost shell. Selenium specifically has an electron configuration of 2-8-18-6. The six electrons in the outermost shell allow selenium to have a variety of valence numbers. Selenium compounds have been found that have valences of -2, 4, and 6.
