Question

The outer most shell or orbit of an atom is called as ______

  1. Valence shell
  2. Inner shell
  3. Core shell
  4. Valence electron
     
     

hintHint:

The outermost shell of an atom is called the valence shell and it has valence electrons.

The correct answer is: Valence shell


    • The electrons are distributed around the nucleus in orbits called shells
    • The electrons in the outermost shell are responsible for the reactivity of an atom
    • These electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons and the shell is called a valence shell.
