1 electron in the s orbital
Yes, all alkali metals do so.
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.
Sodium has the configuration Ne 3s2 . Sodium is group-1 element.
Alkali Metals (Group 1)
1
All elements in group 1 have 1 valence electron.
Take the alkali earth metals as an example, column I in the Periodic Table. All of them have an unpaired s electron in their outer shell. All of them will form a +1 cation. When you go down the column, all of them will have a similar outer shell configuration. The transition metals are different, however.
group 3- (n-1)d1 ns2. Group 12 (n-1)d10 ns2, groups 4-11 do not necessarily have identical outer electron configurations. Where n represents your period that you are in.
1 electron in the s orbital
Yes, all alkali metals do so.
All elements from group 1
+!. The lakali metals are Li, Na K etc in group 1 with an electronic configuration with just ns1 as the outer shell.
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.
Elements in group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shell. Group 7 electrons have 7 electrons in their outer shell. This means that the group 1 element needs to give its electron to the group 7 element so that they both have full outer shells, making them stable. By a school boy in yr. 10
One electron in their valence shell (outer most shell)
there are 7 electrons in the outer energy level of group 17 elements
