What are valence electrons?
What are valence electrons?
- Electrons located in the innermost shell of an atom
- Electrons located closest to the nucleus of an atom
- Electrons located furthest from the nucleus of an atom (correct)
- Electrons located in the middle of an atom
Why are valence electrons the first to be stripped away during ionization?
Why are valence electrons the first to be stripped away during ionization?
- Because they are closest to the nucleus
- Because they have the highest energy
- Because they are influenced the least by the positively charged nucleus (correct)
- Because they have the lowest energy
