What is the number of valence electrons in xenon?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the number of valence electrons present in the element xenon. Xenon is a noble gas, and this question seeks to identify how many electrons are in its outermost shell, which determines its chemical properties.

Answer

8

The final answer is 8

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 8

More Information

Xenon is a noble gas found in Group 8A of the periodic table. Having a full outer shell of 8 electrons makes xenon stable and less reactive.

Tips

One common mistake is confusing the valence electrons with the total number of electrons an atom has. For xenon, the total is 54, but only the 8 in the outer shell are considered valence electrons.
