Usage Examples English
  • An excimer (originally short for excited dimer) is a short-lived dimeric or heterodimeric molecule formed from two species, at least one of which has a valence shell completely filled with electrons (for example, noble gases).
  • The number of electrons in each element's electron shells, particularly the outermost valence shell, is the primary factor in determining its chemical bonding behavior.
  • Atoms that have an almost full or almost empty valence shell tend to be very reactive.
  • Period 1 elements obey the duet rule in that they need two electrons to complete their valence shell.
  • For many molecules, the sharing of electrons allows each atom to attain the equivalent of a full valence shell, corresponding to a stable electronic configuration.

  • In the 1950s an expanded valence shell treatment of hypervalent bonding was adduced to explain the molecular architecture, where the central atom of penta- and hexacoordinated molecules would utilize d AOs in addition to s and p AOs.
  • But in the valence shell of silver atoms, there is a single electron whose spin remains unbalanced.
  • It is inert to most common chemical reactions (such as combustion, for example) because the outer valence shell contains eight electrons.
  • For example, the p-block elements of the 4th, 5th and 6th period come after d-block elements, but the electrons present in the intervening d- (and f-) orbitals do not effectively shield the s-electrons of the valence shell.
  • This is because in a transition series, the valence shell electronic configuration of the elements do not change.

  • As predicted by valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, chlorate anions have trigonal pyramidal structures.
  • Although main group elements of the second period and beyond usually react by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons until they have achieved a valence shell electron configuration with a full octet of (8) electrons, hydrogen (H) can only form bonds which share just two electrons.
  • In this molecule, nobelium is expected to exhibit main-group-like behavior, specifically acting like an alkaline earth metal with its "n"s2 valence shell configuration and core-like 5f orbitals.
  • This is caused by the filling of the valence shell of the atom; a group 17 atom releases more energy than a group 1 atom on gaining an electron because it obtains a filled valence shell and therefore is more stable.
  • ... than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.

  • Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory ([...] , [...] Hence, VSEPR is unrelated to wave function-based methods such as orbital hybridisation in valence bond theory.
