Respuesta :

For the first question the answer is

The "s" orbital can only hold a maximum of two electrons. ... Elements in the each group have the same number of valence electrons. Why is hydrogen set apart by itself? Hydrogen does not belong to a single group b/c it can be considered an alkali metal, but it is also a gas.
