Question:

i need to understand valence electrons?

ok i dont understand how if aluminum has a atomic number of 13 and an atomic mass of 26.98 how does it only have 3 valence electrons? arnt you suppose to round 26.98 to 27 and then take 27 away from 1314 and breaking it down into how ever many shells?

Answer:

The valence electrons are only in the outer shellAll inner shells are full and balanced so it is quite hard to remove an electronThe innermost shell has two, the next outer one has 8 making both fullFor Aluminum, only the remaining outer three can be involved in checical reactionsThere is a scheme 2, 8, 18, 32, 50 in the shells proceeding outwardThere are some misfits called the lanthanide series and the actinide series where some outer subshells fill before some inner subshells.
