Question

In an atom the electrons other than the valence electrons are called

  1. Core electrons
  2. Inner electrons
  3. Valence electrons
  4. Both A and B

hintHint:

The electrons of an atom other than the valence electrons are core electrons or inner electrons.

The correct answer is: Both A and B


    • The electrons in atoms are distributed around the nucleus with a fixed amount of energy.
    • The electrons around the nucleus are distributed in shells or orbits.
    • The electrons of the outermost shell are called valence electrons which are responsible for the reactivity of the atom
    • The electrons other than the valence electrons are called core electrons or inner electrons as they lie on the inner shells of orbits.
