There are actually three transition metals with only one ionic charge.
The three are...
All the alkali metals have only one valence electron like sodium potassium
All six alkali metals have only one valence electron. It is one of their defining characteristics. The six metals are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
No one. The smallest alkali metal is Lithium but it has 3 electrons in its neutral state.

Only when they have identical electronegativities. Homogeneous metals such as iron only, all the atoms share electrons equally. When the electronegativities differ significantly in allows, the metals change their character. An example of this is steel, where soft and malleable iron becomes hard and brittle, because of the presence of other metals such as manganese.
There is no possible reaction. Of the alkali metals, only lithium is small enough to react with nitrogen.
Metals are elements belonging to first , second or third group. They have one ,two or three valence electrons (electrons present in the last orbit of an atom). They lose this electrons to gain stability as they are highly unstable and by doing so they react . NOTICE: An atom can only lose the electron if an atom of other element is ready to take it.
Lithium, Sodium and Potassium are the 'weaker' alkali metals. Rubidium, Caesium and Francium are the most volatile. Francium is only found in micron-grams and is highly radioactive.
Group 1 is the most active and Group 2 is second.
Alkali metals contribute only one valence electron
Alkali metals are more reactive as they are in group 1 and therefore has only one valence electron. With only one valence electron, its easy for them to achieve inert configuration/ noble gas configuration, which makes them so reactive.
Alkali metals, have only one valence electron so they will "want" to lose it to achieve a stable electron arrangement.
Group 1, which are the Alkali Metals.
Alkali metals contribute only one valence electron
Alkali metals contribute only one valence electron
A cesium atom has 1 valence electron. It is an alkali metal, and all alkali metals have 1 valence electron. The electron configuration for cesium is (Rn)7s1. The single electron in the 7s sublevel is its valence electron.
they have one valence electron (not proton) that is involved in chemical bonding.
Lithium would be most likely to lose electrons in a chemical bond.
they have one valence electron. this is why they are so highly reactive and cannot be found pure in nature.
Alkali metals have only one valence electron and all of these elements are highly reactive. All of them are metals. Except lithium, other elements can be cut by a blade. They have a lesser density than water.
Alkali metals are very reactive.
