Know the Answer?

Ansley · Answer 1

Ge atomic number is 32 and the condensed electron configuration is -

[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p²

valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy shell involved in chemical bonding

the number of electrons in the 4th energy shell are 4 electrons

according to the definition valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy shell

the outermost energy shell of Ge is the 4th energy shell

therefore

The valence electrons of a germanium atom in the ground state are located in the

(4) fourth shell
