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.


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 are the elements called in the first group of the periodic table that have one outer shell electron and is extremely reactive?

The elements in the first group of the period table which have one electron in their outer shells and react extremely well are also known as the alkali metals. These elements are Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium.


What is a group and the period?

Rows of elements are called periods. The period number of an element signifies the highest unexcited energy level for an electron in that element. Columns of elements help define element groups. Elements within a group share several common properties. Groups are elements have the same outer electron arrangement.


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.


What do all Group 1 elements have?

One electron in their valence shell (outer most shell)


Do all elements on the left group of the periodic table of elements have one outer electron?

That is correct; the first column on the left contains only elements with one electron in their outer shell, also known as "valance electrons". This column is referred to as Group 1, also known as the Alkali Metals.


How are the electron clouds of the atoms of the elements in a group the same?

Atoms of the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer energy shells. This gives the elements similar Chemical Propetries.


What are elements with full outer electron shells called?

Elements with a full outer electron shells are usually found in group 18/8 on the periodic table, also known as 'Noble Gases'. But during a chemical reaction the element may gain or lose electrons in order to become stable. These atoms are called 'Ions'
