Carbon has 4 valence electrons, chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and sulfur has 6 valence electrons. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the periodic table's structure to grasp the concept of valence electrons fully. Participants confirm the valence electron counts for sulfur and chlorine, reinforcing the need for foundational chemistry knowledge.
PREREQUISITESChemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding atomic structure and chemical properties related to valence electrons.
Yes, sulfur has 6 and chlorine has 7. You're going to need to understand why, or else your knowledge of chemistry will not develop much further. Look at the columns of the periodic table, for starters.southerngirl5390 said:ok i think i answered half of my own question...sulfer has 6 electrons and I am takeing a guess and going to say chlorine has 7 also? can someone please tell me in I am correct?
