Answer:

Metals have one or two electrons in their outermost shell

C. 1-2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Metals have low ionisation energy because they easily looses the outermost electrons
  • They have only one- two electrons in the outer most shell.
  • They loose these electron to form charged species called cation.
