Use the periodic table to answer the question: Which statement correctly compares the valence electrons for atoms of francium (Fr) and barium (Ba)? (1 point) Responses Francium has fewer valence electrons, but they are in a higher energy level. Francium has fewer valence electrons, but they are in a higher energy level. Francium has more valence electrons, and they are in a higher energy level. Francium has more valence electrons, and they are in a higher energy level. Barium has fewer valence electrons, but they are in a higher energy level. Barium has fewer valence electrons, but they are in a higher energy level. Barium has more valence electrons, and they are in a higher energy level.

Francium has one valence electron, while barium has two valence electrons. Therefore, the correct statement is: Francium has fewer valence electrons, but they are in a higher energy level.
