The number of valence electrons is dependent on which group of the Periodic Table the element is in.
Since Argon is in group 8, it has a total of 8valence electrons.

∙ 13y agoSince Argon (Ar) is a noble gas (meaning it has a full valence shell), it has 8 electrons.
It's atomic number is 18, so the first shell has 2 electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons, and the third shell also has 8 electrons... summing up to 18 electrons.
remember that the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th shells can hold only 2, 8, 8, and 18 electrons (respectively)

How many outer electrons does argon have?
Argon has 8 valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell)
Why the chlorine not react with the argon?
Argon has three full shells of electrons. Elements react to form bonds so that their outer shell is full. As Argon has a full outer shell it is unreactive
How many electrons are in the outer shell of Ar?
Argon has eight valence (outer) shell electrons. It is a Noble Gas so its valence shell is full (Octet Rule).
Argon is a stable gas with a very high ionization energy Which statement explains why?
It has a full outer shell of electrons
Why is argon monatomic?
Argon has a full outer shell of electrons and so it generally does not form chemical bonds.
Does argon has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
How many outer electrons does argon have?
Argon has 8 valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell)
How many electrons are in the outer shell of an argon atom?
The electron configuration of argon is [Ne] 3s2 3p6. From this, we can see that the outer shell contains eight electrons.
Is the outer shell of argon full?
Yes it is . The outer argon is full becoz it has 18 electrons
Why the chlorine not react with the argon?
Argon has three full shells of electrons. Elements react to form bonds so that their outer shell is full. As Argon has a full outer shell it is unreactive
What kind of gas is argon?
Argon is a Noble gas--one with eight electrons in its outer shell.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of Ar?
Argon has eight valence (outer) shell electrons. It is a Noble Gas so its valence shell is full (Octet Rule).
Argon is a stable gas with a very high ionization energy Which statement explains why?

Why is argon monatomic?
Argon has a full outer shell of electrons and so it generally does not form chemical bonds.
Why are Neon and Argon such nonreactive elements in the periodic table?
Neon (atomic number 10) and Argon (atomic number 18) mostly do not react with other elements because their outermost electron shells have a full complement of electrons. When two elements combine into a molecule they share electrons from their outermost electron shell. This happens when one element has a minimal number of electrons in its outer shell and the other element has an almost full complement of electrons in its outer shell. When they share electrons, they both have the equivalent of full outer electron shells. Since both Neon and Argon have full outermost shells by themselves they do not have a tendency to share electrons.
What is the outer shell number for beryllium?
The number of electrons in the outer shell of Beryllium is 2.
Lewis dot diagram for helium?
He :The number of electrons in an atom's outer electron shell determines how many dots there are. Helium has 2 electrons in its outer electron shell, so 2 dots.
