Full Electron Configuration For Gold

The full electron configuration for Gold can be defined as:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰4f¹⁴5s²5p⁶5d¹⁰6s¹

Valence Electrons of Gold

There is only one electron present in the outermost shell of Gold so the number of valence electrons Gold have is ONE.

What is The Electron Configuration of Gold

Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of atoms in the orbits. For gold electron configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰4f¹⁴5s²5p⁶5d¹⁰6s¹

How Many Valence Electrons are in Gold

A number of valence electrons are a number of electrons which are present at the outer most shell of the atom. Gold has 79 electrons and has only one electron in the outermost shell and it makes univalent compounds. So, the gold has only 1 (one) valence electron.
