How Many Valence Electrons Does Helium Have?



Answer:

Helium has two valence electrons.

Explanation:
Now I am going to show you how many  valence electrons  helium have in just 5 steps.


How Many Valence Electrons Does helium  Have?



             Step-1:

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





Atomic number of helium

From periodic table ,we see that the atomic number of helium is 2.




                 Step-2:

We know that the atomic number of helium is 2.So helium has 2 protons and 2 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 helium.
He(2)=1s²

                Step-4:
He(2)=1s²

Now we will find out valence shell of helium from the electronic configuration of  helium.
He(2)=1s²


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

You know that principal quantum number is expressed by n.

He(2)=1s²

Here the highest value of n is 1.SoThe valence shell of helium is 1s²


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








We have to know that the electrons of valence shell are called valence electrons.


He(2)=1s²



what is valence electrons



From the above electron 

configuration 

of helium,we see 

that helium has 2 

valence electrons in its 

valence shell.



So there are two valence electrons of helium.
