Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the group number of lithium (Li) and potassium (K) in the periodic table. Both elements belong to Group 1, which is the alkali metals group.
Recall that elements in Group 1 have a single electron in their outermost shell, which defines their valence electrons.
Understand that valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level (shell) of an atom and are important for chemical bonding.
Since both lithium and potassium are in Group 1, each has exactly 1 valence electron.
Therefore, the number of valence electrons for both lithium and potassium is 1.
