2multiple choice

What is the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the K shell?

Show answer

2

The K shell (n=1) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons according to the formula 2n². For K shell: 2×1² = 2 electrons.

3multiple correct

Which of the following elements have the same number of valence electrons?

Show answer

Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K)

Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium all have 1 electron in their outermost shell, making them have the same valency of 1. Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and Fluorine has 7.

4multiple choice
