All right, so we have the following atoms, and we're asked to determine which ones have the most least valence electrons and, you know, populate the scale accordingly.
00:10
I have the periodic table here for reference, just to keep in mind, the number of valence electrons is equal to the group number.
00:17
So this is one valence electron, two, and then for the main groups, three, four, five, six, seven, and then eight for the noble gases.
00:26
So we can reference that if we don't know where things lie.
00:28
So the least valence electrons are going to be the substances that have one.
00:33
That's going to be sodium, n -a, let's see, does anything else have one? lithium.
00:47
All right, then we're going to go to two valence electrons.
00:50
So let's see, beryllium, magnesium, strontium, berym, calcium.
01:04
Okay, then we go to three valence electrons.
01:07
So that includes aluminum.
01:16
Anything else have three? nope.
01:20
All right...
