How many valance electrons, that is electrons on the outer most ring, does this atom have?

• 2
• 5
• 8
• 15

Answer explanation

Remember the valence electrons are found on the outside ring of the atom. you can only have one valence level and multiple core levels. In this model there were five electrons in total on that outer ring.

What is the net charge on this ion?

Remember that the net charge is found by subtracting the number of electrons fro the number of protons.

Charge = (#protons)-(#electrons)

• -2
• -1
• 0
• +1
• +2

Answer explanation

In this case you had 3 protons and 2 electrons

3-2 = +1 so the charge was +1

Remember that the net charge is found by subtracting the number of electrons fro the number of protons.

Charge = (#protons)-(#electrons)

This model has 15 protons and 18 electrons in total.

Mathematical Equivalence

ON

Answer explanation

In this case you had 15 protons and 18 electrons .

15-18 = -3 so the charge was -3 charge
