Question

helium is in group 18 of the periodic table. how is helium different from the other elements in this group? (1 point) helium atoms have valence electrons in the first energy level, while atoms of the other elements in the group have valence electrons in the second energy level. helium atoms have 2 electrons, while atoms of the other elements in the group all have 18 electrons. helium atoms have a full outer energy level, while atoms of the other elements in the group do not. helium atoms have 2 valence electrons, while atoms of the other elements in the group all have 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

Helium is in group 18 (noble - gases). It has 2 valence electrons in its first energy level which is full. Other elements in group 18 have 8 valence electrons in their outer - most energy level (except helium).

Answer:

Helium atoms have 2 valence electrons in the first energy level, while atoms of the other elements in the group have 8 valence electrons in the second (or higher) energy level.
