Far from it. Aluminum has 3 valence electrons. The highest number is 8, which the noble gases other than helium have (helium has only 2). Metals can have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons, so aluminum has the greatest number that an element can have if it is a metal. Once you get to 4 valence electrons (which the element carbon has) you are in the nonmetal range.
3
The expected number of valence electrons for a group 3 A element is 5 number of valence electrons.
2 is the standard number of valence electrons
Nitrogen
Helium has 2 valence electrons.
Aluminum has 3 valence electrons
3
Aluminum has 3 valence electrons.
Three
there are 3 valence electrons in the atom of aluminum
2 valence electrons are in an aluminum atom in the ground state.
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
3+
13 protons would indicate the element is aluminum, Al. It has the electron configuration of1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1. In the 3rd energy level, there are 3 electrons, thus it has a total of 3 valence electrons.
The +3 on aluminum refers to its oxidation number. The oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. In this case, aluminum needs three valence electrons to form an octet (to have a total of eight valence electrons). If aluminum were to react with phosphate, PO4-3, the two would share their valence electrons and balance out, forming AlPO4.

Number of valence electrons depends on number of electrons in uncharged atom(= atomic number), not on mass number. Al has atomic number = 13 and it belongs to group 13( III A) of periodic table so it's uncharged atom has 3 valence electrons. But valence electrons in ions is different. No. of valence electrons in an ion = No. of valence electrons in uncharged atom + negative charge or - positive charge1. 1. for charges only their magnitude is taken i.e. if charge is +2 or -2 then 2 is taken and put in equation.
