How many valence electrons are in cesium
Answers

8 valence electrons
No dots are shown on Cs + in the product because cesium has lost its single valence electron to fluorine. The transfer of this electron produces the Cs + ion, which has the valence electron configuration of Xe, and the F − ion, which has a total of eight valence electrons (an octet) and the Ne electron configuration

Ans : Cesium is not neutral, it has 1 valence electron. Cesium is not neutral, because it is not a noble gas. In order for an element to be neutral it needs to have 8 valence electrons, Cesium only has 1.
