Valence Electrons in Einsteinium

Determine the number of valence electrons in Einsteinium (Es, Element 99)

Step 1: Look up the electronic configuration for Einsteinium

The abbreviated (condensed) ground electronic configuration for Einsteinium is:

Calculate Electronic Configuration for Einsteinium

Step 2: Identify the outermost electrons using the electronic configuration

Electrons in all the atomic orbitals are the outermost electrons:

Step 3: Use the principle quantum number to identify the valence electrons

Extract the principle quantum number, n, and number of electrons from the electron configuration:

Electron ConfigurationnOrbitalNumber of Electrons

The outermost electrons with the largest principal quantum number (in this case, n = 0) are valence electrons.

Answer

Einsteinium (Es) has 0 valence electron(s).
