Name an element in the fourth period (row) of the periodic table with the following: a. five valence electrons

Video transcript

Hello everyone. Today, we are being asked to write the name of a third period element in the periodic table that has six electrons in its valence show. First, we want to recall that the number of valence electrons is determined by the column slash group of that element. For example, any element in column one or group one would have one valence electron in column 22 valence electrons and so on and so forth. and so therefore we're looking for an element that is in column six a And is also in the 3rd period or row. Using our periodic table, we can determine that that element is sulfur. I hope this helped and until next time.
