Asked by Sara

is there a pattern betweent he # of electrons in the outers shell of an element and its position along the row in the Perioidic table. whats the pattern?

I know that there is a pattern, but I'm unable to explain. I looked at the first group of elements which included Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, etc. Their outer shell only contains one electron.

How can I explain better?
