Arsenic (As) has 5 valence electrons. Since arsenic is in group 15 (or 5A) of the periodic table, it has 5 valence electrons.
Use the periodic table to answer the question. How many valence electrons does each atom of arsenic (As) have? Arsenic is element 33. It is in period 4 and family 15 (5A or the Nitrogen family). (1 point) Responses 15 15 33 33 5 5 4

Arsenic (As) has 5 valence electrons. The correct response is 5.
The correct statement is: They have valence electrons in the same energy level.
Nitrogen and oxygen both belong to period 2 of the periodic table, meaning they have their valence electrons in the same energy level (the second energy level). However, they have different numbers of valence electrons: nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, and oxygen has 6.
The correct response is: Helium atoms have valence electrons in the first energy level, while atoms of the other elements in the group have valence electrons in the second energy level.
Although helium has a full outer energy level with 2 electrons, it differs from the other noble gases (like neon, argon, etc.) in that they have their valence electrons in the second energy level (for neon, for example) and beyond.
The element that has atoms with valence electrons in a higher energy level than those of calcium (Ca) is cesium (Cs).
Calcium is in period 4, and its valence electrons are in the fourth energy level. Cesium, on the other hand, is in period 6 and has its valence electrons in the sixth energy level, which is higher than that of calcium.
The correct statement that describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom of fluorine (F) is: There are two electrons in the first energy level and five electrons in the second energy level.
Fluorine has a total of 9 electrons: 2 in the first energy level and 7 in the second energy level (as it is in group 17, which has 7 valence electrons).
