The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
An atom with single electron in its outermost shell
Metals tend to lose electrons.
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
You dont remove an electron from an atom. Its kept there by the bonds of the atom. However, you can split an atom from an atom.

An ionic bond.
This is an ionic bond.
This atom lose an electron.
A valence electron is one that occupies the highest energy level for any electron in a particular neutral atom. (There may be more than one such electron in a single atom.) It is an electron in the outermost shell of the atom.
The simplest atom that has one electron and one proton is the Hydrogen atom.
