How is an elements period related to its its electron confuguation?
An elements period is determined by the number of electrons it has in its outer shell.
A chemical family of elements contains elements with?
Elements in the same family (or group) have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. For Example, all elements in Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells.
What are elements that are in the group and have only 1 outer electron shell called?
alkali metals (group 1 elements)
What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
What are the elements in the first group that have one outer shell electron and that are very reactive called?
The elements in this group are called Alkali Metals.
What is the outer electron configuration for all group 1 elements?
1

An elements period is determined by the number of electrons it has in its outer shell.
Why are alkali metals active?
because they have outer electrons than can merge with other elements. all elements want to have full outer electron shells, and they only have a few outer electrons.

How is hydrogen similar from the other elements?
All of them has one electron in their outer shell.
What is the electronic structure of group 1 elements?
An outer electron shell with only one electron.
A chemical family of elements contains elements with?
Elements in the same family (or group) have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. For Example, all elements in Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells.

alkali metals (group 1 elements)

What does elements in groop one have in common?
They all have one electron in the outer most shell
Which element contain the same outer elements as sodium?
Elements in Sodium's Group (Group 1 - Alkali Metals) will have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell (i.e. 1 electron in the outer shell).
What do elements in each group have in common?
Electron configuration - they have the same number of elements in their outer 'electron shell'. This induces them to have similar bonding properties, and so elements in the same group are chemically similar.
