Pick an element from the periodic table of elements. Identify the valence electrons and the orbitals in which they reside.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

This is for a discussion board:
For the First part of the post, choose a molecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss the importance of this molecule.

The electron configuration of an atom determines the number of electrons available to participate in bonding with another atom. One method of depicting the valence electrons that an atom has is through the Lewis structure. For the second part of the post, pick an element from the periodic table of elements. Identify the valence electrons and the orbitals in which they reside.
