How many valence electrons does a conductor generally have?

Question

Prof. Carmelo Hilpert · Accepted Answer

for conductors generally have { 1, 2 or 3 } in their outer most shell. for semi conductors exactly 4 electrons in their outer most shell.for insulators {5, 6, 7} in their outer most shell , those of have 8 electrons in thier outer most shell called nobel gases has no any tendency for reaction , stable , has no excees electrones in their respective shell and require higher energy to isolate either of the electron from parent atom so can consider them as insulator .

Prof. Carmelo Hilpert · Answer

The conductor exist less than 4 electron in their last orbit, Insulator exist more thant 4 election in their last orbit while semiconductor material have exactly 4 electron

Valence Ring

Prof. Carmelo Hilpert · Answer

Conductors have three or fewer valence electrons in their valence shell.Semiconductors are usually atoms that have 4 valence electrons.Insulators contain five or more valence electrons in their valence shell.Source : Wikipedia
