How to Find the Inner, Outer and Valence Electrons of an Element - TUTOR HOTLINE

In this video, I explain the following student's question "How many inner, outer, and valence electrons are present in an atom of Manganese?" I break it down step-by-step so you learn exactly how it's done.

💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!

This is the best explanation ever and high quality video

[Sam-qecn]

This is possibly the best thing on the internet. I was so confused and had no idea how to write electron configurations and you literally explained it to me in under 10 minutes

[alyssacordova]

Thank you so much! Just from watching 3 of your videos I understand the material my professor has been trying to explain to me. Thank you so much 💕

[samindwhich]

You teach better than the professor I'm actually paying lmao

[grrr]

First year of university I fell asleep in class in the first row, my professor uses powerpoint and sits on the chair.Watching your videos i write down notes and re watch if I missed some info.

[rosemci]

You have taught me what my teacher couldn’t in two hours, in seven minutes. Thank you!

[sydneysanchez]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for even existing!!! I have attempted to take college chemistry 4 times now (dropping every course) until now because it is my last class till I finally graduate. I went from hating this course to actually enjoying it because of you!!! You have made this fast paced class manageable and easy to understand. Please continue to make these videos!!! And again THANK YOU!

you deserve so much more, you have helped me so

[alecvicentericardo]

I've understood this lesson in just 7 minutes! Woah, smh for being excused in a week. when we got our test, I got like nothing because I don't understand. But thanks to this, I'll have a right answer on my final exam. thank you so much!

[MHLSCIENCEAFC]

Finally someone who uses big words but then explains them simply, best video I have seen yet.d

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH IN JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME

SOMEONE HELP ME i've got the question state the outer shell electron configuration of elements in group 15(5). Use n for the shell number. i know how to do all the other stuff like finding the electron configuration for an element but i just don't get this. I looked up the answer and it says it's ns2 np3 but i don't understand how u get 2 that. btw if u see this months ltr someone please answer cus this isn't hw im jus working thnxs

How would finding the valence electrons and outer electrons work for chromium and the other exceptions ? Since its an exception and doesn't fully fill the d orbital and technically has 6 valence?

[ricertolivier]

Wait, cant you just take the outside electrons and minus it from the atomic number

For example:
fluorine's atomic number is 9 and its valence electrons is 7 and 9-7 is 2
If you use this method you also get 2

[majason]

how about the element Te? As i wrote the electron configuration the last part is 5s2 4d10 5p4, but the valance electron of Te is not 16:(

[botlhalebakwa]

This was actually very helpful

[jaredlopez]

I'm in my junior year of college and I want to learn chem, ur videos are so helpful!

[ansonng]

Thanks so much!!!! This is the only video I found useful in Youtube about valence electrons.

[lizard]

So, why are you taking the previous noble gas and adding it to the configuration?

[Morthans]

I've taught biology and Human A&P for many years and now I'm teaching chemistry for the first time. I was confused about the number of valence electrons. I thought it was just the sum of the electrons found in the highest principal energy level(s). In the case of Mn, the 2 electrons in 4s shell would be the only valence electrons. Is this correct? In your video, you say that we would add the 2 electrons in the 4s orbital and the 5 electrons in the 3d for a total of 7. Thanks for your help.
