             Step-1:


First, find the atomic number of selenium from periodic table.





Atomic number of selenium

From periodic table ,we see that the atomic number of selenium is 34.




                 Step-2:

We know that the atomic number of selenium is 34.So selenium has 34 protons and 34 electrons as the charge of electrons and protons are equal but opposite in nature.The charge of proton is +1 and the charge of electron is -1.

                Step-3:

Now write the electron configuration of selenium .

Se(34)=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹º4p⁴

Rewrite this from low to high value of n.
Se(34)=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶
3d¹º4s²4p⁴



How Many Valence Electrons Does selenium  Have?





                Step-4:

Se(34)=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶
3d¹º4s²4p⁴

Now we will find out valence shell of 
selenium from the electronic configuration of selenium.

Se(34)=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶
3d¹º4s²4p⁴


Valence shell can be found from the highest number of principal quantum number.

You know that principal quantum number is expressed by n.

Se(34)=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶
3d¹º4s²4p⁴

Here the highest value of n is 4.SoThe valence shell of selenium is 4s²4p⁴


                 Step-5
In this step,we will find out the valence electrons of selenium.








We have to bear in mind that the electrons of valence shell are called valence electrons.

Se(34)=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶
3d¹º4s²4p⁴


what is valence electrons




From the above electron configuration of selenium,we see that selenium has 6 valence electrons in its valence shell(4s²4p⁴).

So, there are six valence electrons in selenium .
