What is the number of valence electrons in tin?
1 Answer
Tin has
Explanation:
The quick answer here is that because tin,
Tin is located in group
Now, you can prove that this is the case by constructing tin's electron configuration.
Tin has an atomic number of
#"Sn: " 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^10 4s^2 4p^6 4d^10 color(blue)(5)s^color(red)(2) color(blue)(5)p^color(red)(2)#
The fifth energy level,
#color(red)(2)# electrons in the#5s# subshell#color(red)(2)# electrons in the#5p# subshell
Once again, you can conclude that tin has
