What is the atomic number of an atom woth six valence electrons?<br>(A) 8<br>(B)10<br>(C) 12​
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an atom refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Hence, an element with 6 valence electron mean that it has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.

The atomic Number of elements with 6 valence electrons cannot necessarily be the same, however, elements with 6 valence electrons belong to group six on the periodic table.

From the options given above, :

Atomic number of 8 :

Configuration : 2, 6

Atomic number of 10 :

Configuration : 2, 8

Atomic number of 12 :

Configuration : 2, 8, 2

Hence, only the element with atomic number of 8 has 6 valence electrons in its outer most shell, hence, the answer.
