Question

which are the valence electrons for tellurium? select the correct answer below: 5s², 5p² 5s², 5p⁶ 6s², 6p⁴ 5s², 5p⁴

Explanation:

Tellurium has an atomic number of 52. Its electron - configuration shows that the outermost shell is the 5th shell. The valence - shell electrons are in the 5s and 5p orbitals. The 5s sub - shell has 2 electrons and the 5p sub - shell has 4 electrons for tellurium.

Answer:

5s², 5p⁴
