Give the electron configuration for an element with 19 electrons. How many valence electrons does this element have?
answer : onyl one valency electron it has
explanation :
element with 19 electrons means its atomic number 19. so it is potassium .
electronic configuration of potassium = 1s22s22p63s23p64s1
in the outer most shell of potsiium contain one electron . so it is considered as valency electron.
so this element is placed in first group . all first group elements valency =1 (that is s1)
