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 of an electron is the valence shell.

The correct answer is: Electronic configuration


    • The reactivity of a particular element is determined by the number of electrons in the outermost shell.
    • An electron shell is the outer region of an atom around the atomic nucleus.
    • The outermost shell of an element is known as the valence shell which is also called as K shell.
    • The electrons found in the valence shell are known as valence electrons.
