It mostly depends on where you live, and how old the child is, because some places do not allow children at home under a certain age by themselves. However, in my personal opinion, children under 13 should not be left alone so a parent can go to the store while the child is sleeping.No.
no
It really depends on the intelligence of your child, but most children don't get left alone until they are about 11 or 12.
Probably 15 or 16 would be okay. Younger than that could be considered child abandonment.
A child could usually stay home at the age of 7, but an ethical and responsible person wouldn't leave their child home alone before the age of 12.

13 is the legal age for a child to be left alone in the US
No that is called child neglect. Thew child could get into anything while unsupervised.
The child can get lost or hurt.
From a risk standpoint an ADHD intellectually handicapped 11 year old should not be left at home alone unless the care-professionals are sure he or she is competent. It is unlikely this child would be safe to be left alone. Remember that regardless of what age the law may specifify, they will also evaluate the child's mental capacity, should anything happen while the child is alone. So make sure the child -- any child -- can handle an emergency before ever leaving them alone.
12!

There are no legal laws about the age a child may be left alone but a child who is left alone too young could leave the parent liable for negligence or child abuse. A general rule of thumb would be if the child can cook for him/herself or call emergency services.
14
They Have To Be 12.
