How many valence electrons do the following atoms have?
a. boron
b. nitrogen

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Step 1: Recall the concept of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding. The number of valence electrons can be determined from the atom's position in the periodic table.
Step 2: Locate boron on the periodic table. Boron is in Group 13 (or Group IIIA in older notation). Elements in Group 13 have 3 valence electrons because their electron configuration ends in ns²np¹.
Step 3: Locate nitrogen on the periodic table. Nitrogen is in Group 15 (or Group VA in older notation). Elements in Group 15 have 5 valence electrons because their electron configuration ends in ns²np³.
Step 4: Write the electron configurations for boron and nitrogen to confirm the number of valence electrons. For boron, the configuration is 1s²2s²2p¹, and for nitrogen, it is 1s²2s²2p³. The electrons in the 2s and 2p orbitals are the valence electrons.
Step 5: Summarize the findings: Boron has 3 valence electrons, and nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. This information is crucial for understanding their chemical reactivity and bonding behavior.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Valence Electrons

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are crucial for determining how an atom interacts with others. They play a key role in chemical bonding, as they are involved in the formation of bonds between atoms. The number of valence electrons can often be determined by an element's position in the periodic table.

Periodic Table

The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and electron configuration. Elements in the same group (column) typically have the same number of valence electrons, which influences their chemical properties. Understanding the layout of the periodic table helps predict the behavior of elements during chemical reactions.

Electron Configuration

Electron configuration describes the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals. For main group elements, the valence electrons are found in the outermost s and p orbitals. Knowing the electron configuration allows one to determine the number of valence electrons, which is essential for understanding an element's reactivity and bonding capabilities.
