Nitric oxide has how many valence electrons?
Correct answer: C. 11
- A. 10
- B. 13
- C. 11
- D. 12
Explanation
Explanation: Nitric oxide has the formula NO. N is from group 5 and has 5 valence electrons while Oxygen is from Group 6 and has 6 valence electrons so in total: 5+6=11 valence electrons.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
