Question

Due to the number of valence electrons, which type of atom would a Group 1 element bond with in a 1:1 ratio?
*
1 point
fluorine
oxygen
carbon
argon

Answer 1

A Group 1 element has one valence electron. It would bond with an atom that can accept that electron to achieve a full octet. Fluorine, which has seven valence electrons, would require one electron to complete its valence shell. Therefore, a Group 1 element would bond with fluorine in a 1:1 ratio.

So the correct answer is **fluorine**.
