Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If an atom is located in the 1st column of the periodic table, then a neutral atom has
A
1 energy level
B
1 valence electrons
C
A difference between protons and neutrons of 1
D
To gain one electron
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The columns indicate, for the neutral form of the element, how many valance electrons are in the valance shell: the first column (Group IA) contains 1 valence electron, the second column (Group IIA) contains 2 valence electrons, etc., and the last column (Group VIIIA) contains 8 valence electrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Group 1 has 1 valence electron.

Detailed explanation-3: -A: Any element in group 1 has just one valence electron. Examples include hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), and sodium (Na).

Detailed explanation-4: -The alkali metals have only one valence electron in their highest-energy orbitals (ns1).
