If the Xe atom can accomodate a maximum of 14 electrons in its
expanded valence shell, what is the formal charge on the Xe atom in
the most significant contributor to the resonance hybrid of the
molecule XeO4?
Identify the number of core and valence electrons for each atom.
Xe : core electrons Xe : valence electrons Be : core electrons Be :
valence electrons Br : core electrons Br : valence elect.
Why can Hydrogen and helium only hold two electrons in there
valence shell, but Neon can hold 8?(You will receive extra credit
if you can explain this with quantum numbers)

atom of each of the following elements? What is the number of the
principal energy level in which the valence electrons are
found?
A )Mg D) B
B)
K
E) Ar
C)
C
F) Xe
A Rydberg atom is an atom whose
valence electrons are in states with a very large principal quantum
number n. This means it has a probability cloud with a
large amplitude a large distance from the nucleus. Evidence of such
atoms has been detected by radio astronomers in the form of
radiation from diffuse hydrogen gas in intersellar space. In fact,
there is no theoritical limit on the size an atom can attain,
provided it is free from outside influences....
A) How many core electrons and valence electrons make up a
carbon atom?Core electrons _______________Valance electrons _______________B) What kind of orbitals are carbon’s valence electrons in? (It
may be helpful to draw an orbital diagram.)
