Hey, i add an answer so you can give the other person brainlest :)
Answer:
valence electrons are the electrons that are located in the outermost electron shell of an element. Knowing how to find the number of valence electrons in a particular atom is an important skill for chemists because this information determines the kinds of chemical bonds that it can form and, therefore, the element's reactivity
Explanation:
47)1-6 and 5&6-8 hope this helps!
D. The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element. Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell. So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.
