Charmaine wants to write the noble gas electron configuration or short-hand electron configuration for Uranium (U). Which noble gas should she use?
Answer choices:
Xenon
Radon
Krypton
Argon

that tool would be a compass

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
