Detailed explanation-1: -As a result, lead has four valence electrons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Lead has 4 valence electrons. Electrons are located around the nucleus of an atom. Valence electrons are electrons that are located in the outermost shell, or energy level.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pb4+ is also known. In lead(IV) compounds, the cation has the electronic configuration [Xe]4f14 5d10.
Detailed explanation-4: -Group 14 elements have four valence electrons and they include Carbon (C), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn), Lead (Pb), and Flerovium (Fl) .
Detailed explanation-5: -An element’s valence was historically determined by how many hydrogen atoms it could bond to (which is determined by how many valence electrons it has available for bonding): for example, carbon can form CH4 so it has a valence of 4, and 4 valence electrons.
