Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.
Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴
From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So,
Core Electrons = Total Electrons - Valence Electrons
Core Electrons = 34 - 6
Core Electrons = 28
Result:
There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.

Clearly, the acid is in deficiency ; i.e. it is the limiting reagent, because the equation above specifies that that 2 equiv of HCl are required for each equiv of metal.
So if

Explanation:
I've done it on e2020
It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer
electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic
table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is
energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right
hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their
outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them.
Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive
charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons
(negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to
complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has
more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).
