Valence Electrons, Noble Gas Notation, Ionisation Energy - AP Chemistry

This AP Chemistry video defines valence electrons, explains how to write the electron configuration of an atom using shorthand (or noble gas) notation, and how to qualitatively estimate the ionisation energy using the energy analog of Coulomb's law.

This video is part of Unit 1 of AP Chemistry on Atomic Structure and Properties.
