(a) The number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom is known as valence electrons. For e.g., 

the electronic configuration of Na (11) is              K  L  M

                                                                             2  8  1

Thus, the number of valence electrons present in Na is 1.

                                                                     . K L M N 

(b) Electronic configuration of K (19) =          2 8 8 1 

Electronic configuration of N (7) =                 2 5 

(c) No. of valence electrons in K (19) = 1 (as 1 electron is present in last shell) 

No. of valence electrons in N (7) = 5 (as 5 electrons is present in last shell)

Anything that influences the valence electrons will affect the chemistry of the element.

Nuclear mass does not affect the valence electrons

Elements forming ionic compounds attain noble gas electronic configuration by either gaining or losing electrons from their valence shells.

Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. It cannot lose 4 electrons to form C4+ cation because very high energy is required to remove 4 electrons leaving behind a...
