Back

2 electrons, due to the Pauli exclusion principle.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the Periodic Table in relation to electron configuration?

Back

The Periodic Table organizes elements by increasing atomic number, which correlates with their electron configurations and helps predict their chemical properties.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you determine the number of valence electrons for an element?
