Alkali Metals (Group 1)
it has one electron in its outer energy level like all alkali metals
The elements in group 16 on the periodic table have four total electrons in their outer p orbitals.
To start off, the electrons on the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. You can tell how many valence electrons an energy level has by finding out its group number. If an element is in group one, than it has one valence electron.
they have one valence electron. this is why they are so highly reactive and cannot be found pure in nature.
Group one metals are the Alkali Metals, but Hydrogen is placed in group one because of its electron arrangement. All group one metals have one electron in their valence shell (outer most shell) and hydrogen is no exception. It has one electron in its last shell, and is therefore placed in group one even though it is not an alkali metal.

Alkali metals
it has one electron in its outer energy level like all alkali metals
The elements in group 16 on the periodic table have four total electrons in their outer p orbitals.
Both statements are true:Every element in group I has one electron in its outer shell andEvery element in group II has two electrons in its outer shell
To start off, the electrons on the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. You can tell how many valence electrons an energy level has by finding out its group number. If an element is in group one, than it has one valence electron.
There are two electrons on the outer shell which means they are pretty reactive. (make bonding easier)
name the group of elements that have only one electron in their outermost energy level
they have one valence electron. this is why they are so highly reactive and cannot be found pure in nature.
An outer electron shell with only one electron.
One electron in outermost energy level.
