  1. how many valence electrons do the noble gases (ne, ar, kr, etc.) have?
  2. how many valence electrons do the elements in group 1 (li, na, k, etc.) have?

Explanation:

Part 1: Filling the Table (Example with Hydrogen, Lithium, Fluorine, Neon, Sodium, Phosphorus, Chlorine, Calcium, Germanium)
H (Hydrogen)

Step 1: Determine # of electrons

Hydrogen has 1 electron (atomic number 1).

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Basic: \( 1s^1 \)
Expanded: \( 1s^1 \)

Step 3: Box Diagram

1s: \(\uparrow\)

Step 4: Dot Diagram

1 valence electron: \(\cdot\) H

Element with 3 electrons (Lithium, Li)

Step 1: Identify Element

Atomic number 3 is Li.

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Basic: \( [He] 2s^1 \)
Expanded: \( 1s^2 2s^1 \)

Step 3: Box Diagram

1s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2s: \(\uparrow\)

Step 4: Dot Diagram

1 valence electron: \(\cdot\) Li

Element with 2 - 7 (Fluorine, F)

Step 1: Total Electrons

2 + 7 = 9 electrons (atomic number 9 is F).

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Basic: \( [He] 2s^2 2p^5 \)
Expanded: \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^5 \)

Step 3: Box Diagram

1s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2p: \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\)

Step 4: Dot Diagram

7 valence electrons: \(\cdot\cdot\cdot\) \(\cdot\cdot\cdot\) F (7 dots)

Ne (Neon)

Step 1: # of electrons

Atomic number 10, so 10 electrons.

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Basic: \( [He] 2s^2 2p^6 \)
Expanded: \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 \)

Step 3: Box Diagram

1s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2p: \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\downarrow\)

Step 4: Dot Diagram

8 valence electrons: \(\cdot\cdot\cdot\) \(\cdot\cdot\cdot\) Ne (8 dots)

Element with 11 electrons (Sodium, Na)

Step 1: Identify Element

Atomic number 11 is Na.

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Basic: \( [Ne] 3s^1 \)
Expanded: \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 \)

Step 3: Box Diagram

1s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2p: \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 3s: \(\uparrow\)

Step 4: Dot Diagram

1 valence electron: \(\cdot\) Na

Element with \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^3 \) (Phosphorus, P)

Step 1: Count Electrons

\( 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 3 = 15 \) electrons (atomic number 15 is P).

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Basic: \( [Ne] 3s^2 3p^3 \)

Step 3: Box Diagram

1s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 2p: \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\downarrow\), \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 3s: \(\uparrow\downarrow\); 3p: \(\uparrow\), \(\uparrow\), \(\uparrow\)

Step 4: Dot Diagram

5 valence electrons: \(\cdot\cdot\cdot\) \(\cdot\cdot\) P (5 dots)

Cl (Chlorine)

Step 1: # of electrons

Atomic number 17, so 17 electrons.

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Basic: \( [Ne] 3s^2 3p^5 \)
Expanded: \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5 \)

Step 3: Box Diagram

Step 4: Dot Diagram

2 valence electrons: \(\cdot\cdot\) Ca

Element with \( 1s^2 2s^2…

Answer:

8 (except He, which has 2)

Part 3: How many valence electrons do Group 1 elements (Li, Na, K, etc.) have?

Step 1: Recall Group 1 Configurations

Group 1 elements have one valence electron (e.g., Li: \( 2s^1 \), Na: \( 3s^1 \), K: \( 4s^1 \)).
