Joel Nash · Answer 1

it's D because the are located in the outer most shell, they are responsible for the chemical reaction and determine if they conduct electricity or not, you can look it up if you don't believe me

Tara Pearson · Answer 2

Answer:The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behavior. Therefore, elements whose atoms can have the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the periodic table of the elements
