this is the answer of your question

Answer 2

• The BEST way to determine if a newly discovered element belongs in the same group of the periodic table as lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) would be to learn about its electronic configuration.
• On filling the orbitals, the orbital, which has the outermost electron, constitutes the block in the periodic table.
• For the s block, the last electron enters the s orbital.
• If we have to find the element that belongs to the first group then, the number of valence electrons determines that it is in the alkali metal group.
