Valence electrons are found AT THE OUTERMOST SHELL OF AN ATOM.
Valence electron refers to those electrons that are located furthest away from the nucleus of an atom, that is, they are found at the outermost shell. Valence electrons determine the chemical properties of an element and they are the only ones that get involved in chemical reactions with other elements.

If the atomic number of an element is 6 and its mass number is 15, how many neutrons are in the atom's nucleus?

lozanna [386]

Atomic Number is the same as the number of protons in an element.
Mass Number is the number of Protons + Neutrons in an element.

Atomic Number: 6 means 6 Protons
Mass Number: 15 means 15 atoms that are a proton/neutron.
We are given out of the 15 atoms, 6 of them are protons, so the other 9 must be Neutrons.

15 - 6 = 9 so there must be 9 Neutrons.

There are 9 Neutrons in atom's nucleus.

Complete the electron-dot structure of s-allylcysteine, showing all lone-pair electrons.

erastova [34]

The structural formula of s-allylcysteine is shown in the picture (top figure). To create its Lewis structure, draw all its bonds between elements. Each single bond contains two electrons. There is an octet rule that must be obeyed by most elements. Each element should be surrounded with 8 electrons. The hydrogen is exempted of this rule. So, there are 4 lone pairs for the S atom, 1 lone pair for the N atom, and 2 lone pairs each for the 2 O atoms.
