(C) One electron in the outer shell

(d) The ability to easily form a positive ion in a reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

c is

Explanation:

c is the right answer

Answer 2

The Group 1 Alkali Metals behave in a very similar way because they all have (C) One electron in the outer shell

Explanation:

1.The elements in the first column of the Periodic Table (lithium, sodium, potassium and so on) all have one electron in their outer electron shell. This means that they share similar properties and behave similarly in chemical reactions.

2.Group one elements share common characteristics. They are all soft, silver metals. Due to their low ionization energy, these metals have low melting points and are highly reactive. The reactivity of this family increases as you move down the table.

3.All of the alkali metals have a single s electron in their outermost principal energy such electrons are called valence electrons. The general form for the electron configuration of each alkali metal is ns1, where the n refers to the highest occupied principal energy level.
