Match the element with its number of valence electrons. match term definition nitrogen a) 5 silicon b) 4 oxygen c) 2 magnesium d) 6

Valence electrons are that electrons that are present in the atom, outside the nucleus in orbits. The list of atoms with correct number of valance electrons is as follows;

A. Nitrogen: 5

B. Silicon: 4

C. Oxygen: 6

D. Magnesium: 2

Answer :

Element            Valence electrons

Nitrogen                         5

Silicon                            4

Oxygen                          6

Magnesium                    2

Explanation :

Valence electrons : Valence electrons are the electrons which is present on the outermost shell of the electron.
