Question

Write down the outermost electronic configuration of alkali metals .How will you justify their placement in group 1 of the periodic table?

PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

The elements in Group 1 (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) are called the alkali metals. All of the alkali metals have a single s electron in their outermostprincipal energy. Recall that such electrons are called valence electrons.Aug 2, 2012
