(a)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons found in
Concept introduction:
In an atom, the outermost shell of electrons is the valence shell and the electrons present in this shell are called as valence electrons. For any neutral atom in a group of a periodic table, the number of valence electrons is equal to its group number.

Answer to Problem 1.1P
The number of valence electrons found in
Explanation of Solution
The given atom is sodium. The electronic configuration of sodium is,
It belongs to the group (IA) of the periodic table. Therefore, it has one valence electron.
Sodium has one valence electron.
