Valence Electrons
Electrons in the highest energy level; only P and S count, with a limit of 8.
Electrostatic Force
The attraction between the valence electrons and nucleus based on distance, described by the equation F = Q1 x Q2 / R2.
Q1 in the Electrostatic Force Equation
Represents the nucleus in the equation for force between two charges.
Q2 in the Electrostatic Force Equation
Represents the electron in the equation for force between two charges.
R in the Electrostatic Force Equation
The distance between the nucleus and the electron in the electrostatic force equation.
Electron Shielding
Inner electrons in an atom block or "shield" outer electrons from the full attractive force of the positively charged nucleus.
Coulomb’s Law
The attraction between the valence electrons and nucleus based off the distance
