Rank the following atoms by number of valence electrons.


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 375 People


Rank from most to fewest valence electrons. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. Rb Xe Sb I In

Answered by maham237 @



To count the number of valence electrons we look at the electronic configuration and add the electrons form the electronic shell with the highest principal quantum number.

Rb: [Kr] 5s¹ - 1 valence electron

Xe: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p - 8 valence electrons

Sb: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³ - 5 valence electrons

I: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p - 7 valence electrons

In: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p¹ - 3 valence electrons

Rank from most to fewest valence electrons:

Xe > I > Sb > In > Rb
