Question

Q:1: Metals generally have How much number of electrons in their valence Shell why.

Q2: Non metals contain how much number of electrons in their ouutermost Shell why?

Answer 1

1. Metals usually have less than 4 electrons in their outermost shell because they reside in the initial groups of the periodic table. Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat due to this.

1. Non-metals usually have more than 4 electrons in their outermost shell because they reside in the initial groups of the periodic table. Non-metals are bad conductors of electricity and heat due to this.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals generally have 1,2,3 electrons in their valance shell.

Whereas, non metals contain 4,5,6,7 electrons in their outermost shell.
