The smallest and the basic particle of a chemical element is said to be an atom. It is made up of three subatomic particles that is electrons, protons and neutrons. The neutrons and protons are present in the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons are present in the orbits around the nucleus of the atom. There are several shells in the orbital depending on the atomic number. The electrons which are present in the outermost shell are said to be valence electrons.
They can be determined by the electronic configuration of the element.
The atomic number of strontium, is 38. The electronic configuration of strontium,
is:
From the electronic configuration it is clear that the outermost shell of strontium, is
. So, the number of valence electrons in strontium,
is 2.
Hence, there are 2 valence electrons in an atom of strontium ().

The question continues; At this same temperature, how long (total time, in minutes) would it take for oxygen to diffuse to form a 0.13 micron thick layer of SiO2? Assume that the silicon can be treated as a semi-infinite solid with a constant concentration of oxygen at the surface. (Hint: What is true of the oxygen concentration at the Si/SiO2 interface?
Explanation:
The application of Grahams law of diffusion comes in; It states that at constant temperature and pressure, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its relative molecular mass or the square root of its density.
The detailed step by step explanayion and application of grahams law is as shown in the attachment.
