Question

How many valence electrons are elements trying to reach in their outer shells?

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 5
  4. 8

hintHint:

Noble gases have 8 electrons in their outermost shell.

The correct answer is: 8


    • The electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
    • Noble gases have 8 electrons in their outermost shell, the most stable electronic configuration.
    • 8 valence electrons elements are trying to reach in their outer shells.
