What are valence electrons?

• The total number of electrons in an atom

• The number of electrons in the outermost shell

• The number of electrons in the second shell

• The number of protons in the outermost shell

Valence electrons are: 

• Electrons farthest away from the nucleus
• Electrons closest to the nucleus
• Electrons that just come and go - they don't stay with the atom
• Electrons in the second shell

When trying to identify an unknown element, a scientist determines what other elements reacts with chemically. Which property of the unknown element determines the other element it reacts with?

• The total number of neutrons in the unknown element

• The total number of particles in the nucleus of the unknown element

• The number of protons in the nucleus of the unknown element

• The number of valence electrons in the unknown element
