Answer 1

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The atom shown in the image has 2 core electrons.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within an atom. Therefore the total number of electrons surrounding the nucleus in the given specie is 7.

 So;

   We have 2 core electrons

   And 5 valence electrons

The core electrons are the inner orbital electrons.

The valence electrons are the outermost electrons.
