Question

The outermost shell of an atom or an element is called:

  1. Group number
  2. Valency
  3. Valence electrons
  4. Electronic configuration

hintHint:

The outermost shell is called as valence shell.

The correct answer is: Valency


    • The electrons will be distributed in shells around the nucleus. 
    • The number of electrons in the outermost shell decides its ability of reactivity and bond formation.
    • The outermost shell which has valence electrons are called as valence shell.
