Group 2 of the Periodic Table is the alkaline earth metals, and each and every one has two valence electrons. Further, each of these elements will seek to form bonds where it can loan out those two electrons. These metals are said to have a +2 oxidation state, and though the might also have another oxidation state under certain conditions, it is the +2 oxidation state that dominates the chemistry of beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra), which comprise all the Group 2 metals.

How many are in the outer shell of the yellow group?
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
Each element in the nitrogen group has what electrons in the outer level?
Phosphorous
How many valance electrons are in Be?
It is a Group 2 element, therefore it has two outer-shell electrons. To gain a full outer-shell, it loses two electrons to form a cation (cations are positive ions)
What are the criteria used to placed an element under it is group and period?
it is related to the number of electrons that are in in the outer shell, and the total number of electrons
How many electrons are in the alkali metals shell?
There is 1 electron in the outer shell of a group one alkali metal. Just the same as there would be two electrons in the outer shell of a group 2 element.

Element bromine electrons outer shell?
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
How many element do the elements belonging two group IIIA have in there outermost shell?
Group 3 is part of the transition metal series. This means that the number of outer shell electrons the element has will depend on its oxidation state.
Each element in the nitrogen group has what electrons in the outer level?
Phosphorous
