How to determine the number of valence electrons using the As and Bs system

Answer:Use the K L M N shell orbit

Explanation: Valence electrons are those electrons on the outermost shell of an atomic nucleus.

The K L M N electron shell is named by a spectroscopist called Charles G. Barkla, who discovered the A X-rays ( high energy rays) and the B X-rays ( low energy rays), he later renamed the A X-rays K X-rays which is the Energy level orbit, and the B X-rays was also renamed to be the L M N and so on.

PLEASE SEE PICTURE ATTACHED

THE PICTURE SHOWS HOW TO DETERMINE VALENCE ELECTRON USING THE As AND B's WHICH ARE THE K L M N SHELL ORBIT, USING SILICON AS AN EXAMPLE.

The maximum number of electron in the K orbit is 2

The maximum number of electron in the L M N shell is 8

Therefore the number of electron found in the outermost shell becomes the number of Valence electron in that element.

How do you find the molecular formula from the empirical formula?
miskamm [114]
To find them you would have numbers of the elements in percentage or grams then you divide them by their molar mass to get their moles. From there you divide by the smallest number. Round it to two or one sig fig. If you have a number that is for ex. 2.5 you multiply it by 2 to make it whole as well the other whole numbers. Then to find the molecular formula the problem must give you another molar mass and using your empirical formula convert it to its molar mass then you divide them, larger number over smaller number. You should get a number round it to 1 sig fig. Now you use that number and multiply the subscripts on the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.
