One electron in their valence shell (outer most shell)
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.
The outer electron configuration for all group 1 elements is ns1, where n represents the energy level of the outermost electron. This means that group 1 elements have one electron in their outermost shell.
All the atoms in group 1.
All group 1 elements have a +1 charge because they readily lose their outermost electron to achieve a full outer shell and attain a stable electron configuration.
Elements that have a single oxidation number include group 1 elements (e.g. sodium, potassium) which have an oxidation number of +1, and group 2 elements (e.g. magnesium, calcium) which have an oxidation number of +2.
Hydrogen is an alkali metal just like all the other elements in group 1. The difference is that hydrogen is a nonmetal and a gas which seperates it from the rest of group 1's elements. The rest of the elements in group 1 are metals and solid. (this was done by #41 for all u ppl at sjs who have no idea what the hell this worksheet was about.)
+1 only for all elements (except for hydrogen) hydrogen can have +1 and -1 as their oxidation numbers.
All elements in group 1 have 1 valence electron.
Group 1A (1) elements in the periodic table all have 1 valence electron. This includes elements like hydrogen, lithium, sodium, and potassium.
Group 1 Metals
The oxidation numbers for the first 20 elements in the periodic table are typically as follows: Group 1 elements: +1; Group 2 elements: +2; Group 13 elements: +3; Group 14 elements: +4 or -4; Group 15 elements: -3; Group 16 elements: -2; Group 17 elements: -1; Group 18 elements: 0. Keep in mind that oxidation numbers can vary in different compounds and contexts.
Actually group 1 is ALL elements and so is the whole periodic table.
