The common oxidation state of an element is −2. The number of electrons in the outermost orbit of its atom is:
The most common oxidation state of an element is -2. The number of electrons present in its outermost shell is:
Statement 1: If an orbit has 8 electrons, then it will be the outermost orbit of that atom. Statement 2: The outermost orbit of the atom always has 8 electrons.
