Question

The electrons in the outermost orbit of an atom are called bound electrons.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The combining capacity of an atom of an element is known as its valency.
• The electrons present in the outermost or valence shell is known as valence electrons or conduction electrons.
• The valence electrons most readily participate in a chemical reaction.
• Bound electrons are the electrons which do not take part in the chemical reaction and which are present in inner shells.They are tightly bound to the nucleus.

Therefore,the given statement is false.
