Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)

ALKALI METAL OF FIRST GROP HAS 1 8ALENCE ELECTRON LIKE Na,K ETC. AND 2ND GROP ELEMENT HAS 2 LIKE Ca,Mg etc
The valence shell is the outermost electron shell containing electrons.
Need help understanding how the K atom could obtain eight outer shell electrons?
A neutral potassium atom has 19 electrons in total and 1 valence electron.
there are 3 valence electrons in the atom of aluminum
Potassium (K) is an alkali metal whose atoms have one valence electron. The atomic number of K is 19, which means its atoms have 19 protons in their nuclei. A neutral K atom also has 19 electrons. An atom of K will lose its single valence electron to become a K+ cation. Therefore, there are 18 electrons in a K+ cation.
An electric-neutral K atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons.

Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)
they are the electrons in the outer shell of the atom(valence electrons)
Potassium has 19 electrons when it's neutral. It's ionic form is K+. Thus, the potassium ion has one less electron than that, or 18.
Both lithium and potassium have one valence electron
they have few valence electrons and aren't close to having eight valence electrons

The most reactive elements have either 1 valence electron or 7 valence electrons
