Yes, all alkali metals do so.

What is the pattern of outer shell electrons in a group?

In a group, elements have the same number of outer shell electrons, which corresponds to the group number. For example, elements in Group 1 have 1 outer shell electron, elements in Group 2 have 2 outer shell electrons, and so on. This pattern helps determine the reactivity and chemical properties of elements within the same group.


What are the Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell Every element in group two has two electrons in its outer shell?

Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.


What do all Group 1 elements have?

One electron in their valence shell (outer most shell)


What are elements that are in the group and have only 1 outer electron shell called?

alkali metals (group 1 elements)


What is the outer electron configuration for all group 1 elements?

The outer electron configuration for all group 1 elements is ns1, where n represents the energy level of the outermost electron. This means that group 1 elements have one electron in their outermost shell.


What are the elements in the first group that have one outer shell electron and that are very reactive called?

The elements in the first group with one outer shell electron and high reactivity are called alkali metals. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium. Alkali metals readily lose their outer electron to form positive ions in chemical reactions.


Which element contain the same outer elements as sodium?

Potassium and other elements in the same group as sodium contain the same outer electron configuration, which is one valence electron. This similarity is because they are all located in the same group in the periodic table, known as the alkali metals.


How many electons are contianed in the outer shell of each element in group 1?

Elements in group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shell. This single electron gives them a valency of 1 and makes them highly reactive.


What is outer shell electrons do group 1 elements?

i guess you mean that the group 1 elements usually lose a electron in order to become stable because the outermost of the group 1 elements have only one valence electron and it is easy to lose one than to gain seven.


Why does group 1 elements prefer to combine with group 17 elements?

Group 1 elements (alkali metals) prefer to combine with Group 17 elements (halogens) because alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell, which they can easily donate to achieve a stable electron configuration. Halogens, on the other hand, have seven electrons in their outer shell and can easily accept an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This electron transfer results in the formation of ionic compounds between alkali metals and halogens.


How many electrons will groups 1 and 2 and 3 lose?

Groups determine the number of electrons on the outer shell of an atom. When elements react, they want to complete their outer most shell. Filling the outer most shell is called the octet rule. In the cases of groups 1, 2 and 3, they want to donate, 1, 2 or 3 electrons to lose the outer most shell and form a completed outer shell.


What charge do all group 1 elements have why?

All group 1 elements have a +1 charge because they readily lose their outermost electron to achieve a full outer shell and attain a stable electron configuration.
