Hi guys in this post we are going to talk about some more things that I should have talked about earlier: electron rings/orbitals, and valence electrons.
First let’s talk about electron rings/orbitals. So electron rings/orbitals are basically different rings around the nucleus that can hold a different amount of electrons. There are 7 different electron rings/orbitals because 2+8+8+18+18+32+32=118, and the heaviest element has 118 protons. The first ring holds 2 electrons. The second and third rings hold 8 electrons. The forth and fifth rings hold 18 electrons. The sixth and seventh rings hold 32 electrons.

Now let’s talk about valence electrons. So valence electrons are the electrons that do the reacting – usually because the outer electron ring/orbital does not have the full amount of electrons. They are the electrons that are in the outer electron ring/orbital. For example magnesium, beryllium, barium, and ETC have 2 valence electrons. Lithium, francium, cesium, and ETC have 1 valence electron.

I wrote this from memory from what I learned in Khan Academy.
this is the end of this post so bye(: :D😃😊👋:D:).
