Both lithium and potassium have one valence electron
H, Li, Na, K = 1valence electrons Be, Mg, Ca = 2 valence electrons B, Al = 3 valence electrons C, Si = 4 valence electrons N, P = 5 valence electrons O, S = 6 valence electrons F, Cl = 7 valence electrons He, Ne. Ar = 0 because they are noble gases and all their electron shells are full
they are the electrons in the outer shell of the atom(valence electrons)
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.
Take the atomic number then subtract the amount of valence electrons. Example: Number of non valence (inner) electrons in Sulfur: 16 (atomic number) - 6 (valence electrons) = 10 (valence or inner electrons)
The elements that have the same number of valence electrons are located in a group.The group number from the Periodic Table relates to the number of electrons in the valence shell.For example, elements in group 1 (H, Na, Li, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) all have 1 valence electrons and elements in group 7 (Cl, F, I, Br) have 7 valence electrons in its outer shell.
Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)

The valence shell is the outermost electron shell containing electrons.
Hydrogen (H) only has one electron. If you are talking about valence electrons, all of the elements in group 1A on the periodic table have one valence electron (H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr).
Take the atomic number then subtract the amount of valence electrons. Example: Number of non valence (inner) electrons in Sulfur: 16 (atomic number) - 6 (valence electrons) = 10 (valence or inner electrons)
