Which element does not have the same number of electrons in its outermost shell as the other elements in its group?(1 point)
2 answers:
Helium (He) does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.
The periodic table is divided into groups with the last number of the group coinciding with the number of electrons that an element in the group has in its outermost or valence shell.
Helium is in group 18 which means that it should have the same number of valence electrons as :
- Neon
- Argon
- Krypton
- Xenon and,
- Radon
Yet Helium only has 2 valence electrons. We can therefore conclusively say that Helium does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.

Answer:
The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.
Explanation:
A scientist known as Niels Bohr put forward that electrons in an atom covers some permitted orbitals with a specific energy. In other words, the energy of an electron in an atom is not continuous, but 'quantized.' The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.
