What elements in an element family have similar?
Valency
How can you determine the number of valence electrons in an atom?
You can determine how many valence electrons an atom has by what family the element of the atom is in. For instance, if the element is in family 8A, the number of valence electrons will be 8. Or, if the element is in family 2A, the number of valence electrons for the atom will be 2. So, whatever number family the atom is in, the number of valence electrons equals that.
What is the family name that has only 1 valence electron?
Group 1, which are the Alkali Metals.
Which family is group one in the periodic table?
The group-1 family is alkali metals. It has one valence electron.
How do you determine the number of valence electrons?
It depends on what group or family the element is in. For example, Potassium is in the first group of family so it only has 1 valence electron. However, since nitrogen is in the 15 group of family, it does not have 15 valence electrons. For double digit families, you just take the second digit, and that is the number of valence electrons. Therefore, Nitrogen would have 5 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons are in the sodium family?
one valence electron
What is the number of valence electrons in family 1A of the periodic table?
One valence electron.

Valency
What element has one valence electron but is not a metal?
There is no non-metal with one valence electron. Every element with 1 valence electron belongs to the alkali metals family

What do calcium and its' family members all have in common?
a single electron in their outer valence shell
What is the family name that has only 1 valence electron?
Group 1, which are the Alkali Metals.
Which family is group one in the periodic table?
The group-1 family is alkali metals. It has one valence electron.
Is lithium family a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose atoms have 7 valence electrons?
No, lithium is ins a family of mostly metals with 1 valence electron.

How many valance electrons does SiS2 have?
Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)
Would a metal in the boron family or alkali metal be more reactive?
A metal in the alkali metal family has one valence electron where as a metal in boron family has three valence electrons. It is easy to remove one valence electrons than three. So alkali metals will be more reactive.
