In a piece of silver, where would you find the valence electrons?
(A) moving freely between the cations
(B) attached to anion
(C) attached the cation
(D) shared between a cation and anion

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The valence electrons are the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom.  

A silver atom contains a positive charge as silver is a cation.

In a piece of silver, the silver atoms will be linked together. As it is known that silver is a cation, it will hold a positive charge.

Therefore, it can be concluded that in a piece of silver, the valence electrons will be moving freely between the cations.

Moving freely between the cations
