Lead Valence Electrons

Valence electrons are electrons in the outer most shell or orbit and there are 4 valence electrons present in the lead (Pb) outermost shell.

Full Electron Configuration For Lead

Full electron configuration for lead is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰4f¹⁴5s²5p⁶5d¹⁰6s¹.

Or it can also be written as

What is The Electron Configuration of Lead

Electrons distribution in the orbit of atom or molecule is termed as electron configuration. And electron configuration of Pb (lead) is defined as 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰4f¹⁴5s²5p⁶5d¹⁰6s¹.  

How Many Valence Electrons Does Lead have

A number of valence electrons are defined as a number of electrons present in the outer shell of atom or molecule. In case of lead, there are 4 electrons present in the 6^th or outer shell. So, a number of valence electrons in lead is 4.
