This is an easy question that I can't wrap my head around.
Why does hydrogen have 1 valence electron and no inner shell electrons?
Is there still an inner shell there? If there is, why would the electrons chose to be on the outer valence shell if they are attracted to the nucleus?
thanks in advance!!
