Where are the valence electrons of an atom located?
A
In the innermost electron shell
B
In the second energy level only
C
In the outermost electron shell
D
In the nucleus of the atom
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that valence electrons are the electrons involved in chemical bonding and reactions.
Recall that electrons are arranged in energy levels or shells around the nucleus of an atom.
Recognize that the innermost electron shell contains core electrons, which are not involved in bonding.
Know that valence electrons are specifically located in the outermost electron shell of an atom.
Therefore, the correct location of valence electrons is in the outermost electron shell.
