Question

Which element has the fewest valence electrons available for bonding?

A.iodine

B.aluminum

C.carbon

D.nitrogen

Answer 1

(B) Aluminium

Step-by-step explanation:

From the electronic configurations of given elements we can see that aluminium has fewest valence electrons available from bonding.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The element which has the fewest valence electrons available for bonding would be carbon. The number of valence electrons increase from left to right. The highest number of valence electrons include the noble gases.
