What is the principle behind the Aufbau principle in electron configuration?

Back

Electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first before moving to higher energy levels.

Front

What is the difference between core electrons and valence electrons?

Back

Core electrons are those in filled inner shells, while valence electrons are in the outermost shell.

How do you determine the number of valence electrons for elements in the periodic table?

Back

The number of valence electrons corresponds to the group number for main group elements.
