Question

How many valence electrons are there in Dysposium and Cerium.

(Sorry if wrong section figured questions about atoms would fit with physics)

Answer 1

u know in which block cerium is?

Answer 2

Both I am asking about are in block F if I believe.

Answer 3

yep and there is only 1 electron in outermost electron in cerium

Answer 4

Ok and that applys to both of the elements?

Answer 5

u know the configuration of cesium

Answer 6

I'm not 100% sure on that, if by that you mean the electron configuration I am not sure.

Answer 7

Xe 4f10 6s2 this is the electronic configuration for dysposium

Answer 8

and Xe 4f15d1 6s2 is the electronic configuration for cesium

Answer 9

Okay.

Answer 10

If I am right it has two valence electrons? (Dysposium)

Answer 11

yes i guess so

Answer 12

Ok thanks!
