| How do you determine the number of energy levels of an atom of an element when drawing a Bohr model? | The period the element is found on determines the number of orbitals. |
| What is the valence? | The outer or last orbital. |
| How do you determine the number of valence electrons? | The number of electrons is determined by the number of the family it is found in. |
| Carbon has how many valence electrons? | 6 |
| How many orbitals does Carbon have? | 2 |
