Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.
So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

The correct answer is A. Alkali metals.

The ground state electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom with lower energy levels. The electrons occupying the orbitals of varying energy levels naturally falls towards the lowest energy state or ground state.
Answer:
B. Alpha
Explanation:
Alpha decays always split into an element and He.
Beta decays always split into an element and e- (eletrons).
Gamma decays always split into an element and radiation.
