i guess you mean that the group 1 elements usually lose a electron in order to become stable because the outermost of the group 1 elements have only one valence electron and it is easy to lose one than to gain seven.

What is the pattern of outer shell electrons in a group?

In a group, elements have the same number of outer shell electrons, which corresponds to the group number. For example, elements in Group 1 have 1 outer shell electron, elements in Group 2 have 2 outer shell electrons, and so on. This pattern helps determine the reactivity and chemical properties of elements within the same group.


How many electrons are in the outer shell of the yellow group?

There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.


What elements of a group have the same number of?

Valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell)


What are the Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell Every element in group two has two electrons in its outer shell?

Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.


The elements within a group have a similar number of?

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.

If you are talking about the valance electrons any elements in group 5 on the periodic table will have 5 valance electrons.


How many electrons are in the outer shell of a fluorine and chlorine?

Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell, while chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell as well. Both elements belong to Group 17 of the periodic table, also known as the halogens, which have 7 valence electrons.


What element has six electrons in the outer shell?

Elements in group VIA (6A) also called group 16.


How many electrons will groups 1 and 2 and 3 lose?

Groups determine the number of electrons on the outer shell of an atom. When elements react, they want to complete their outer most shell. Filling the outer most shell is called the octet rule. In the cases of groups 1, 2 and 3, they want to donate, 1, 2 or 3 electrons to lose the outer most shell and form a completed outer shell.


Elements react with other elements based on the number of what in their outer shell?

Elements react with other elements based on the number of electrons in their outer shell, also known as valence electrons. Elements are most stable when their outer shell is full, so they will either gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell.
