How many valence electrons does the element samarium have?

A neutral atom of samarium has 2 valence electrons. If you write out the electron configuration of samarium, you will find that all of the shells up to four are full. When you get to shell five you have two electrons left.

These are the two valence electrons You can always find valence electrons by the electron configuration.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
