Positive ions (cations) are obtained: Na+, Li+, etc.
Yes. Rubidium is an alkali metal, and all alkali metals have one valence electron.
A cesium atom has 1 valence electron. It is an alkali metal, and all alkali metals have 1 valence electron. The electron configuration for cesium is (Rn)7s1. The single electron in the 7s sublevel is its valence electron.
An alkali metal has 1 valence electron. Group 1 elements, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, all have 1 valence electron in their outermost energy level.
This electron is lost.
Rubidium has one valence electron as it an alkali metal.
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.
All alkali earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
1 valence electron. It is an alkali metal and all alkali metals have one atom on their last energy level.
The outer electron configuration of an alkali metal is one electron in the s subshell. This electron is easily lost to form a cation with a full valence shell, resulting in the high reactivity of alkali metals.
Well, the "happy" number in chemistry is eight. And alkali metals have one valence electron while halogens have seven so when they combine, the combination has eight valence electrons. This means it is full.
There is one valence electron in lithium, also in every other alkali metal element.
This is the valence electron.
