They have one to three valence electrons
O They have 4 to 8 valence electrons
O They are brittle
O O
They are capable to form anons easily​

Answer 1

The correct statement is "Metals have one to three valence electrons"

Explanation:

Other option about metals are not suitable. For instance

• Metals don't have 4 to 8 electrons in the other most shell. Such as aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and its ion is represented by Al3+.

• Metals are not brittle rather they are ductile in nature.

• Metals forms cations because they have the tendency to donate electrons. So, they do not form anions.

Answer 2

Metals have one to three valence electrons
