Question

Which group of elements on the periodic table typically has the highest number of valence electrons?
1 point
Alkaline Earth Metals (Group 2)
Halogens (Group 17)
Alkaline Metals (Group 1)
Noble Gases (Group 18)

Answer 1

The group of elements on the periodic table that typically has the highest number of valence electrons is the **Noble Gases (Group 18)**. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons (except for Helium, which has 2), which makes them very stable and largely unreactive.
