Answer:

Since hydrogen is the first element, its electron configuration is 1s1.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has only one electron in its valence shell.

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons or electrons in the largest energy level. Hydrogen has only one electron, so that electron is a valence electron.
