Correct Answer: Electrons in the outermost shell


Solution : The correct option is Electrons in the outermost shell .

Elements of the same group have the same number of valence electrons, or electrons, in an atom's outermost shell. All elements in Group 1 (alkali metals), for example, have one valence electron, whereas in Group 18 (noble gases) have eight (excluding helium, which has two).
