Noble gases
Explanation:
Electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
The element belongs to the group of the noble gases.
- The noble gases have complete outer shell configuration of their atoms.
- we can infer that the configuration above is for an element in the p-block because the last sub-level filled is the p-orbital.
- The elements therefore belongs to the p-block
- The block is from group 111A to O
- Only the halogens and noble gases fits this picture from the option.
- The outer most p-subshell have three orbitals requiring 6 electrons to fill them up.
- This makes a complete and stable configuration.
- The highest energy level of 2 is also made up of 8 electrons, an octet.
- This is why we can conclude that they are noble gases.

The correct answer is A. All electrons become free and separate from the nuclei. In metallic bonds, the electrons of the metal atoms are delocalized. The electron in the electron sea can freely roam around or are free to flow.
The element with the lowest ionization energy is CESIUM, CS.
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron in an atom of an element. The higher the number of shells in an atom of an element, the lower the ionization energy that will be required to remove the valence electron.
