Answer:

There is one electron in the outer energy level.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrangement of elements in modern periodic table is based upon the electronic configuration of elements. In first column of a modern periodic table, the outermost electronic configuration of elements is ns1.

There is only one electron in a hydrogen atom, so its electronic configuration is 1s1 which makes it a suitable element to be placed in the first column of modern periodic table.
