B) number of electrons in the outermost shell. C) number of neutrons. D) number of protons. E) none of the above Answer: B Diff: 3 Section: 2.8 LO: 2.8 Global LO: G2 91) Explain how the term “valence electrons” is related to electron configurations. Use the elements in group VI, Periods, 3, 4, and 5, as examples. Answer: The electron configuration allows us to determine the number of valence electrons by identifying the orbitals in the outermost shell so their electrons can be counted. The orbitals in the outermost shell are all those with the largest coefficient. For example, the electron configuration of S is 1s22s22p63s23p4. The outermost orbitals, which have a coefficient of 3, contain six electrons. Therefore sulfur has six valence electrons. For Se, the electron configuration is [Ar]4s23d104p4, and the orbitals with the largest coefficient (4) contain six electrons. Selenium has six valence electrons. Likewise, for Te, the electron configuration is [Kr] 5s24d105p4, and the orbitals with the largest coefficient (5) contain a total of six electrons, the valence electrons.
