Valence electrons are those electrons that are found on the shell or orbital that is furthest away from the nucleus of an atom.  So for example in the case of Sodium which has 3 shells, as can be deduced from it electronic configuration 2.8.1, the single electron on the third shell would be the valence electron of Sodium.

> How many valence electrons does a helium atom have?

The electron configuration of Helium is simply 1s2. We see that its outermost shell is the s shell and it contains 2 electrons, therefore the number of valence electrons is also 2.

 

> What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas electron configuration?

Potassium has a electron configuration of [Ar] 4s1. To have an electron configuration of only [Ar] which is a noble gas, the one electron from 4s1 should be removed, hence:

Answer:

KOH

Explanation:

Chemical reaction:

2K + 2H₂O →  2KOH + H₂

Element ratio of K.

K = 1

Because only potassium is present.

Element ratio of H₂O.

2 : 1

in water ratio of element is 2 : 1 because two hydrogen and one oxygen atom present.

Element ratio of KOH

1 : 1 : 1

in KOH elemental ratio is 1 : 1 : 1 because one potassium one hydrogen and one oxygen atom are present.

Element ratio of H₂.

2

Just two atoms of hydrogen are present.
