electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:
Elements with the same number of valence electrons are found in the same column of the Periodic Table. All elements in the first column of the Periodic Table have 1 valence electron in an s orbital. These elements are known as Group 1A metals or alkali metals.Sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, and chlorine are common examples of elements that form an expanded octet. Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) are examples of molecules that deviate from the octet rule by having more than 8 electrons around the central atom.An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6) tends to be chemically inert. An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion.
