- B.
The number of electrons in the outermost shell
- C.
The number of electrons in the innermost shell
- D.
The number of neutrons in the outermost shell
- E.
The number of protons in the innermost shell
Correct Answer
B. The number of electrons in the outermost shellExplanation
The valence number of an element is determined by the number of electrons in its outermost shell. This is because the outermost shell, also known as the valence shell, is involved in chemical bonding and determines the element's reactivity and ability to form chemical bonds with other elements. The number of protons in the outermost shell (option a) and the number of electrons in the innermost shell (option c) are not relevant to the valence number. The number of neutrons in the outermost shell (option d) is not a determining factor for the valence number. The number of protons in the innermost shell (option e) is also irrelevant to the valence number.Rate this question:
